[Cuis-dev] Adding some shortcuts to Cuis

[Gerald Klix]

Hi Matías,

I love to see this implemented.

Please take a look at
https://hg.sr.ht/~cy-de-fect/HaverOnCuis/browse/klg-packages/MorphZooming.pck.st
which should be a useful starting point. Although this is a package
implemented for Haver (http://haver.klix.ch), it should work with plain 
Cuis,
if you delete the

!requires:  'WindowSets'  1  29  nil!

line.


*Please note:*

Before adding any short-cuts/hotkeys consider implementing some
some sort of registry for global keyboard shortcuts.

I already have two packages, that modify
KeyboardEvent>>#sendEventTo:.
Meaning the aforementioned requirement of the Haver's window sets package
is an artificial one, because this package also patches that 
KeyboardEvent>>#sendEventTo: method.
(See 
https://hg.sr.ht/~cy-de-fect/HaverOnCuis/browse/haver/ui/WindowSets.pck.st?rev=tip#L1676).

Admittedly up to now I was to lazy to discuss the need for a registry of 
global keyboard shortcuts
with the community and preferred a simple "solution" for Haver.


Best Regards,

Gerald
