Notes:

If you want support Custom Hotkeys/Shortcuts, you can do it here.

You can make requests for new hotkeys and shortcuts here, or you can start a new topic (for larger requests).

Before you make a request, make sure that it hasn't been requested before (above) and check whether this hotkey/shortcut is not reserved for another option. You can find a list of all hotkeys/shortcuts in the XnView Help (press F1 in XnView to show) or here.
