Hardcoded shorcuts or options which cannot have shorcuts

Problem

There are some hard-coded shortcuts which should be editable

This means:

  • shortcuts that override hard-coded ones won't work when canvas is active (and hard-coded shortcut is activated instead) see inkscape#838
  • hard-coded shortcuts that aren't in the Shortcuts file list are hard to discover and can't be changed

Rest of the description are examples of hardcoded shortcuts:

Action Key
Quick Zoom Q
Hide Overlays F
Node Editor: Join Nodes etc. None
Align and Distribute Numpad Keys
Bezier Tool:
  • Make last segment line
  • Make lastsegment curve
    While Drawing
    • Ctrl+L
    • Ctrl+U
    Reflect Gradient Shift+R
    Hide Selected Objects None
    Lock Selected Objects None
    Unset Storke/Fill None

    node tool - toolbar

    basically all tools here are hard-coded and don't even have shortcuts in tip tools

    align and distribute dialog

    all distribute tools are not shorcut-able and are missing shortcuts in tip tools
