We did setup a shortcut collection page including core and plugin 
shortcuts and we will choose proper shortcuts in future (which will not 
be easy, as most keys already have all 8 possibilities used) avoiding 
rearrangments when possible.

But the core is more important. So when we need a specific key in future, 
the plugins need to step back.

Plugins have a lower usage count than core and thus it is logically they 
can't be considered equal. Beside the two windows auto-installed plugins 
only 3 others reach more than 20% installations (of all installations 
which have at least 1 plugin installed, others aren't counted):

*22.4% utilsplugin2
*24.2% PicLayer
*33.2% buildings_tools
