When editing bitmapped skins, and applying changes to see the results, a lot of clicks are needed to: save xml, 'reload' skin editor, 'save' skin editor, restart musicbee, etc.
Such actions for notepad++ and MusicBee can be setup in a macro, but the skin editor has no option for global hotkeys.

It would be great if the skin editor had the option to set global hotkeys for 'reload' and 'save'.
Then after an edit of the xml file, you would be able to save and restart all, and see the result with just one command, instead of several.

i have hard-coded the following keys:
- Ctrl-R to reload
- Ctrl-S to save
- Ctrl-X to exit

To make this really work, the shortcuts would need to be global.

If that's possible, then the key-shortcuts might also better be a little less standard.
Perhaps something like:

- Ctrl-Alt-Shift-R to reload
- Ctrl-Alt-Shift-S to save
- Ctrl-Alt-Shift-X to exit

sorry but no as global hotkeys seem to just bring problems

I understand, I already guessed that might be a bit problematic.
