Place Image shortcut

[rogershuff]

I live by keyboard shortcuts. If I wish to place an image (which I do all the time), I don't want to have to mouse over to the toolbox and click the Place Image Tool. There's a File menu shortcut for 'Place' but if I leave a text frame selected, I can't place a graphic - they are all greyed out. So, I either have to click outside the text frame or click the Place Image Tool. Even if I use Esc>V to activate the Select Tool, only text objects are available with Shift+Cmnd+M, if I left a text frame selected. I have never wished to 'Place' a text file! I can't create a useful keyboard shortcut in the Keyboard settings as modifiers are not permitted. Groan.

Maybe I'm missing something here. If I have a text frame selected and I wish to place an image somewhere I just press the Escape key followed by Ctrl D (that's my short cut to place an image).
