It would make sense to me. I think it is a good principle to utilize a shortcut as a toggle when it is never used for anything else, like the shortcut for opening a dialog in this example.

It is used for something else: it is used for giving focus to a dialog which is already on but lost focus to the main window. This way you can Tab through controls in the dialog, change some values, and presss Esc to return to the main window, all without using a mouse. If you want to close the dialog, just do dialog shortcut followed by Ctrl+W.
