Isn't this strange: When using OO2 and NoteTaker at the same time, I 
constantly stumbled over the cmd-R etc.
shortcuts, found them awkward at best (Notetaker has tabs). Now with 
OO3, I automatically reach for cmd-R...

Not wanting to diminish the IMHO great accomplishment that the 
Omnigroup team has reached with OO3, but
I think a application specific mechanism to change the shortcuts would 
be appropriate. I can add from
the viewpoint of someone using the German keyboard layout that cmd-[ 
translates into cmd-opt-5, and
(the here unrelated) cmd-\ into cmd-opt-shift-7. The ablility to change 
often used keyboard shortcuts to different ones would certainly give me 
another efficiency boost.

Kei.
