Sometimes making certain things too easy can actually cause problems of its own too...

With that system I would worry somewhat about unintentionally assigning a key.

Like say you have E for extrude. Then one time after finishing some other work where you happen to have the mouse over top of some other UI, you then hit E to want to launch extrude. Does it re-assign E to the UI that your mouse happened to be over?

Or what if you were expecting to type in a sequence of characters into a text input box, like when you are making Text objects with the Draw solid / Text tool . What if you accidentally did not have focus in the input box? It seems like you could possibly accidentally assign a whole bunch of shortcut keys with that... (although actually in MoI's case it puts focus in there automatically if you start typing, but I could foresee someone typing a sequence of characters and then getting them all assigned...)
