Confirmed, but...

     1. user defined shortcuts are available only in the gcmd main
        window. So the the only available solution is to move the find
        file results from find dlg to another tab (aa discussed here:
        http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/gcmd-devel/2011-05/msg00009.html)
     2. as we are *very* close to 1.4, I wouldn't like to start
        implementing this feature before the launch - as it'd inevitably
        postpone the release even more. Definitely I'd add that
        (together with Guillaume's treeview) in the 1.6 release
