I would have suggested > Ctrl+F10 (to still be near the F10 standard that Ellen says is used by > other DEs), but she's already suggesting that one for something else... Is it really that common? I myself couldn't think of any F10 shortcut (not that I remember that many of them) and if F10 wasn't "Step Over" in KDevelop which makes it very a very often pressed shortcut I'd even try to claim that activating menu would be much more used than all app-specific F10 shortcuts together. And something harder to press like Ctrl+F10 IMHO wouldn't be right for such shortcut, especially given that it has to be followed by more keypresses. Not that I'd suggest stealing F10 from apps, but, well, I am :). > About Ctrl+R for reload: the standard action already has Qt::Key_F5 and > Qt::Key_Refresh (what's that? there are keyboards with a Refresh key?).
