Hi, You are probably right, but it might be easier to teach users to use shortcuts that are there per default than to teach them to use a tool to set up their shortcuts. With this said i do think that such a tool should exist, but only after GOOD default shortcuts are set. The default shortcuts should in my opinion be that good that only very specific user cases need to change them.
