Actually, this brings up a good point. One of the big things that sodipodi/inkscape is/are missing is many many options for various functions. Although I don't know if this is a good goal, it seems that for everyday use, options for output and during working really increase productivity.
The keyboard shortcuts is a great example of something that could be made into a preferences menu, as apps using qt do so well to implement.
Just a thought...as I know that it is just great for these features like keyboard mapping/shortcuts to be implemented at all, and the preferences is above and beyond the call of duty.
I think this is a direction being traced by Mental for his Verb system? The idea is that features can register themselves and a kind of MVC (model view controller) architecture builds the interface automagically. At this point the idea is a little vague, I think what mental would like is people to suggest specific features that he can then use these to compare against his model. So I'm opening the flood gates to wild speculation about features. The best place to register features is in the wiki azure sky section, perhaps Cc: to this list.
