I forgot to attach new accels.scm with corresponding shortcuts so I'm
adding it now.

Also I think I should mention that those shortcuts are only as powerful
as custom actions they match. So the F4 shortcut will not work when many
files or folders are selected because the custom actions that this
shortcut is tied to also do not work in this situation.

Similarly, the Ctrl + Shift + F shortcut won't work when a file or multiple 
folders are selected. 
This is why reconsidered my initial proposal and I no longer think that 
overriding the existing Ctrl + F shortcut is such a good idea. It would 
introduce inconsistent behaviour - when custom action can be applied it would 
launch catfish and when custom action is not be available, because some files 
or multiple folders are selected, it would launch in-window non-recursive 
search. Which is why I think it would be better to use currently unused 
shortcut Ctrl + Shift + F.
Just to be clear: I still think that introducing default shortcuts for custom 
actions is going to benefit the users. We just need not to override existing 
shortcuts.
