Ability to set custom shortcuts please?

Hello, I would like to see the ability to add or change keyboard shortcuts in an up coming version please. I think that it would benefit a lot of users who have come from other software packages such as myself and have got used to certain shortcuts for certain tasks. For example, I use Blender a lot and the most common shortcuts are using the numpad to change views. An idea like this:
numpad 1 = front
numpad 3 = right
numpad 5 = isometric
numpad 7 = top
numpad 2, 4, 6, and 8 could be used to orbit
holding crtl could be used to 'flip' the view
i.e.
ctrl + numpad 1 = back
ctrl + numpad 3= left
ctrl + numpad 7 = bottom

Any thoughts?

    If I have understood correctly, CTRL is a bit of a problem for software running in browser.. I too miss familiar shorcuts but also software like google sheets lack's for example adding/removing colums/rows with ctrl & + or - and ctrl & mouse roll zooming applies for browser not for single sheet.. 
    But it would be totally awesome if Onshape find a way around this - if so tip it for google guys too =)

    Since Onshape runs in the browser there are applications/extensions that allow for this to happen today (many of them free). If you are using Windows, take a look at AutoHotkey. If you are using chrome, take a look at the extensions in their web store. This will depend on what OperatingSystem/browser combination you are using but there are some nice options out there.
