No ... this would not be so hard...
this is a very good idea and will look
how i can implement this behaviour into gAlan

i am in desperate need of user feedback like this...
how would you configure the keybindings of a knob ?
from the right-click menu of the knob ?
features like this have to be discussed first and would
then be implemented very fast...

please have a look at http://galan.sourceforge.net
and tell me what you think...
