Can't spicykeys (or Shortcuts, as it is now called) do these kind of
assignments? I'm all for making it easier to switch, but to hardcode it
in the code is something different.
I actually agree with Axel here, if you're not willing to invest time to
retrain muscle memory, then have this as an _optional_ feature. I guess
the use of the function keys are a perfect fit for "user defined"
functionality :)
Anyway, not trying to start a flame war, just giving my 0.02 EUR ;)
