1) shortcuts like ctrl+'some key' is bad for touchscreens.
2) need waste some time
3) it works for all games at global scope, isn't it?

We tried to resolve main actions with ScummVM Global Menu, but even that doesn't always work as some games control save/load from their game scripts. I don't want change any games behavior, only add new hotkeys. For example, for Zork Nemesis easyly can can add new hotkeys
