Yes. I think I'll try to make the documentswitcher have the same GUI as 
quickopen and provide something like that also for toolviews.

That action is already there and used extensively in Ideal/Sublime.

If you say so. Though I personally would opt for consistency. Want to add a 
shortcut for something? It's a KDE app => show in the shortcuts dialog. Can't 
find something? Shortcut does not exist.

I think I can hack that together with my current approach: In your other mail 
you requested a patch, here it is again:

Lets see if I can "fix" the loading/saving part, i.e. not save the actions to 
the kdevelopui.rc but to kdeveloprc [View 1] and load it accordingly. Should 
be hackable somehow...
