No, please do :)

I'll have to wait to see the results.  It's definitively not a good idea
to assign accelerators at random.  Maybe, you're thinking the same
("mostly"...).

Static accelerators are a user friendly feature.  Please, allow
duplicates.  If there are duplicates pressing the same keycombo should
move forward and the action should take place once the user hits Enter.
That's much, much better the changing accelerators.

At least, please make the "feature" a configuration option ;)
