Confirmed, but...
1. user defined shortcuts are available only in the gcmd main
window. So the the only available solution is to move the find
file results from find dlg to another tab (aa discussed here:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/gcmd-devel/2011-05/msg00009.html)
2. as we are *very* close to 1.4, I wouldn't like to start
implementing this feature before the launch - as it'd inevitably
postpone the release even more. Definitely I'd add that
(together with Guillaume's treeview) in the 1.6 release
