Sorry, but that just sounds weird.  The more shortcut keys are used  
for context-sensitive operations, the less useful they become, in my  
belief.  Additionally, each user has a different idea of which  
functions MUST HAVE SHORTCUTS or else YOUR APPLICATION IS USELESS TO  
ME.  Keep in mind that Skim is aimed at reading and annotating, not  
TeX viewing.
