Hi Ben, great to hear you're interested. I've always thought that
keyboard shortcuts support should be much stronger. In the past we've
been limited by lack of library support - it was quite painful to try
to add shortcuts before Kai ported to GtkUiManager.

So yes, grab the code and just jump in! Process is minimal - attach
your patch to a bugzilla issue and discuss anything else here. I know
some people will be very keen to hear any news on this front.

One thing to bear in mind - the current "two toolbar" ui is more
legacy code. I'd like to use the ui merging and delete the tabbed
toolbar.

Stephen.
