[Ian McInerney <Ian.S.McInerney@xxxxxxxx>]

Just a note, the hotkey ctrl+shift+R is already assigned to "Differential
Pair Dimensions" by default so this would introduce a duplicate hotkey
conflict. It probably makes sense for this action to be ctrl+shift+R, but
that means that the other needs to be changed.

Also, as a side note to the lead devs, is it still necessary to have the
hotkeys say (Modern Toolset only) in the master branch?
