I'm not sure if this module will eventually be ported to Drupal 7, but if so, there will be a bit of an issue since Drupal core now has a module called 'shortcut' which has the same machine-readable name as this one.

That was added in #511286: D7UX: Implement customizable shortcuts where the conflict with this module's name was discussed briefly. Not sure if anyone contacted this module's authors at the time? (Doesn't look like they did.)

The thought was that this module would likely be better renamed to something like 'keyboard_shortcuts' anyway, given its purpose and functionality. That would get rid of the naming conflict. It should be pretty easy to do - just create a new project and start the Drupal 7 work there, then put a note at the top of this project page pointing people to the new page for the Drupal 7 version. The Drupal 7 version could use a different name for the module's database table also (and then have some upgrade code in its install hook to move data over from the old table for people upgrading from the Drupal 6 version), which should get rid of any conflicts and allow for a smooth transition.

Hope that makes sense. As I was partially responsible for stealing this module's name, I'm glad to help give additional advice here if necessary :)

I'm starting the port to Drupal 7, I will create a new project in the following days to make the port with another name based on the recommendation from webchick.

Thanks for letting me know.
