Thanks for replying. This is taking *MY* fancy, because I have to transcribe
something with a lot of triplets.  (Of course, like I said, I am greedy for a
more generalized, "n-tuplet" feature, which even handles a mix of notes and
rests within the tuplet set. And subdivided tuplets. But I'm getting ahead of
myself.)
 
Anyhow... where would one start with adding to the code? Is it in the c source,
or some meta-command file (*.scm  ?  )

We could start with a simple lookup table of all the shortcuts (just a straight
list).
 
Perhaps, afterwards, additionally, display the shortcuts hierarchically,
corresponding to the hierarchy of the pull-down menu items they map to. 
 
Denemo is already smart enough to warn you if you try to assign a key shortcut
that's already assigned, telling you which command it is currently assigned to.
