I don't think Jesus' idea wasn't really serious :)

Some contra's:
1.) Lazarus IDE doesn't have an API for that. I don't think anybody has 
time/will to make it - it could be pretty/unnecessarily complex to 
support it in every IDE dialog.
2.) No Lazarus function is called this way. It doesn't make sense if 
Code Creation is the only function taking advantage of it.
3.) I don't know any desktop application that works like this (except 
the TotalCommander mouse right click).

(1) is already a reason big enough for me.

Btw. do you really think that the dialog is so frustrating? You can 
apply it by just one Enter press. I personally like to know where the 
things are put. An alternative "no-dialog" shortcut is easy to make, but 
I still don't know if yet another shortcut brings really some 
simplification. Formerly, there was 1 shortcut for CodeCreation, now 
there are 2, do you really want 3 for the same function?

Actually this is already done, ctrl+shift+c is the less interactive 
(therefore it doesn't offer the class option). ctrl+shift+x is the more 
interactive with more options. To reduce confusion I can enhance the 
dialog with a local/class target combobox - people could than map the 
more interactive shortcut to ctrl+shift+c and use only one shortcut for 
both class/local target if they want. What do you think?

If I create a special shortcut for every option of CodeCreation, they 
could easily blow up (like shortcut for add to private, public etc, 
maybe more in the future).
