Why not? I don't think strings are very useful. The purpose of shortcut keys is to select something instantly, then it should be a single key press. All possible keys should be able to be assigned shortcuts. But, my idea is not only for shortcuts. The functions of keys are hardcoded in the current implementation, but they should be configurable. For instance, if the user wants to use C-c to enter the command-line interface and use c to select a menu entry, this should be supported. Okuji
