Yes, we do plan to implement keyboard configuration shortcuts. Please
have a look at
http://cvs.gnome.org/viewcvs/*checkout*/gnome-commander/TODO :o)
But frankly speaking - it has not the highest priority at the moment...

I'm not sure - you want to have symlinks creation with right mouse
click, don't you? That's fairly easy to add...

As an old fashioned computer user, for me the fastest way for any gcmd
operation is keyboard - that's why you have CTRL+SHIFT+F5 shortcut...
The key combination was chosen for compatibility with Total Commander
