Dear List,

I distribute a LaTeX typesetting and project manager app and one of the main 
feature requests is the ability to assign keyboard shortcuts (or rather modify 
the ones I ship). So I started researching a little how to do this and came 
across solutions involving PTHotKey (or DDHotKey) and ShortcutRecorder (which I 
haven't looked at in detail yet).

But during my reading I also started to wonder if offering such a feature is 
frowned upon. I'm finding it hard to find an example desktop app which offers 
changing the keyboard shortcut bindings. Also, with these solutions, it's not 
clear to me if the actual keyboard shortcut associated with a menu item can be 
changed, and whether that will be reflected in the UI. That's really what the 
users want to do. 

Does anyone have any advice, opinions, or suggestions as to how to implement 
the ability of the user to modify menu item keyboard shortcuts, and whether 
this is a good idea or not?

Best wishes,

Martin
