True, authors of small programs would find it immensley awkward to try and fit
such an option in without dramatically increasing the program size.
Maybe installing all the shortcuts as a cookie or something, and having a
program look them up when the program starts is a possible solution. Then
the configuration program could be as large as it needs (an approach adopted
by LED Panel among others). Changing shortcuts is not something that needs to
be done so often it warrants being available on the spot within programs....
Maybe the configuration program should be expandable, so it can grow to
include program-specific shortcuts (e.g. DSP Options in WinRec - unlikely to
be used in many other programs...), although this may result in a very large
cookie to load up at boot time!
Just a few ideas - I have no idea what it would be like implementing them....
Neil.
