Default Customizable Hot Key's

I would love to see some customizable hot keys for for certain actions. Here are some that would be useful for me and most common.

Add Product
Add Package
Search in PDM
Find in PDM
Collapse all rows
Expand all rows
Edit Product
Refresh from Master Table
Update to Master Table

Also, a "Delete from PDM" would be awesome as a hot key and a right-click option, especially if I could select multiple items in a drawing and perform this action rather than doing the double work of "Find in PDM" then delete.

I completely agree with this feature. Almost every application I use; Visio, CAD, excel, have hot keys that help with productivity and efficiency.

I would like to see this as well. I work very efficiently in AutoCAD due to the command line and watching someone exclusively use toolbars is excruciating for me. Configurable hot keys would be the way to go.

+0.9 to ekalpakoff's ideas
hot key/shortcuts seem like a must for common actions in any application. customizable would be cool, but lets get some basics in there and worry about mapping them to user pref's later.

Delete in drawings should be at least updated to "Remove from Drawing" or something of the sort. I've had several users wind up with product that they didn't claiming that they had deleted it. turns out they deleted from drawing, not from project. Maybe delete on the drawing context menu could sub-menu out to: "Delete from Project", "Delete from Drawing"

DTools v3.6/Visio (which we just upgraded from) would prompt you when you deleted an item on a drawing with: 1. Delete from all drawing pages 2. Delete from this drawing only 3. Delete from project (basically the drawing and the PDM). I thought it VERY odd that this feature was dropped.

I would like assignable hot keys. I would particularly like a show/hide all accessories key.

I forgot about that prompt in 3.6. It is strange to not have it anymore.
Made perfect sense to et the prompt.

Is there a way to re-enable this prompt in Visio 2007?
