You evidently don't have to deal with Photoshop users giving Krita a try. Or WordPerfect
users trying to use KWord. It's not about the common stuff like cut copy and paste:
it's the specific shortcuts that application experts spend years to get into their fingers.
That's why I really need that feature. In fact, I've got people lined up all ready to
start defining shortcut schemes for Krita as soon as this feature is implemented.
