I for one am very interested. I could take on porting that patch to the pre2 code (it was made for 4.5.55) 
with my extensions, but first I need to know: if I do, will it be included in 4.6.0 release? If yes I will do 
that; otherwise I will wait until after the release, so as to avoid double work. I have been using that patch 
with 4.5.55 for some months now and have not seen any problems.

The same question regarding the hotkeys in hotlist patch discussed some time ago: will it be included in the 
release if I now submit a patch for the pre2?

OK

I'm not sure I fully understand the issues, but I think the correct approach is a table (in fact several 
tables: one for panels, one for viewer, one for editor, one for dialogs, etc) mapping keys to actions.
