OK, but Ctrl-alt-T is used to open up a terminal in vanilla Ubuntu operating systems (I guess it's a Unity Window Managers' setting) and it takes precedence to any application shortcut - I guess that's why I didn't know it had a special meaning in Inkscape ;)

It's quite optimistic to attempt to avoid all collisions across all OSs&WMs, though...

Ctrl-Alt-V it's already used for paste in place. Ctrl-alt-T is consistent with what is used to align objects. These alignment hotkeys should always be the same imho, regardless of what kind of things you are aligning. :)

Yes this is my gut feeling too - not to hard code any keyboard shortcuts because of the collision risk.

But I need a little help on how the custom shortcuts system functions...

E.g. in what source file can I read to learn?

Please, don't hardcode shortcuts with more than one modifier (like
Ctrl+Alt+<key>) because under Windows they could be used to launch some
application so they should always be customizable.
Combinations with one or zero modifiers (like Ctrl+<key> or Alt+<key>) are
usually application specific so it's not a problem if they are hardcoded,
unless it's something weird like Ctrl-V to vertically align nodes :)
