Currently it is difficult to find appropriate shortcut keys when creating a new binding because so many are already in use.

Some editors such as Visual Studio allow key sequences as shortcuts. This makes for easier to remember shortcuts and more possible combinations.

The above would make the following possible (just to given an example):

Ctrl-S: Save
Ctrl-SA (without releasing the control key between pressing S and A): Save all
Ctrl-SC: Select content
Ctrl-SP: Select parent

The above would be very useful to me. On a related note, a nice to have (but non-essential) feature would be to show the command currently bound to a key combination in the edit shortcut dialog before pressing OK.

Hi,

We will discuss this internally and possible consider it for a future version.

On a related note, a nice to have (but non-essential) feature would be to show the command currently bound to a key combination in the edit shortcut dialog before pressing OK.

Right, I added an issue for this. It's quite frustrating to find a free shortcut because all the good ones are taken. So the dialog should indeed present the conflict inside it instead of letting you continue and reporting it after the dialog closes.
