I propose the following as primary shortcuts :
(Note, this only changes the tool button tooltips, all existing shortcuts will continue to work)
Any other changes/suggestions ?

Select tool : "s" (currently F1)
Gradient tool : "g" (currently Ctrl+F1)

Node tool : "n" (currently F2)
Tweak tool : "w" (currently Shift+F2)
Connector tool : "o" (currently Ctrl+F2)

Zoom tool : "z" (currently F3)
Spray tool : "a" (currently Shift+F3)

Rect tool : "r" (currently F4)
3D Box tool : "x" (currently Shift+F4)
Arc tool : "e" (currently F5)

Pencil tool : "p" (currently F6)
Pen tool : "b" (currently Shift+F6)
Calligraphic tool : "c" (currently Ctrl+F6)

Dropper tool : "d"(currently F7)
Bucket tool : "u" (currently Shift+F7)

Text tool : "t" (currently F8)

Spiral tool : "i" (currently F9)

I fully back this approach... g, n, b, etc should be promoted instead imho. Maybe one day we can even ditch the F-Keys for tools in the default shortcuts. You know, so that we could reclaim F1 for Help (if we get volunteers to actually make it happen of course).

Cheers,
Josh

Adding the "secondary" shortcuts to the button tooltips is easy, but adding to the main-menu is more difficult.

How about just changing the "primary" shortcut to the most useable/obvious/one-key shortcut so they appear in the button tooltips ?
Such as "g" for gradient  instead of Ctrl+F1.
