Shortcuts for Rotate and perspective

Hi all,
I never really noticed this behaviour before, but today I tried to assign a shortcut (v+scroll) to the “lens shift (vertical)” slider in the rotate and perspective module. I did this on an image in landscape orientation. Then I used the shortcut on an image in portrait orientation, and it worked on “lens shift (horizontal)” in stead! So I noticed that the sliders swapped places, and the shortcut always acts on the upper slider.
Then I thought that this must be because rotate and perspective is before orientation. So is there a good reason for this? I think it would be better if rotate/perspective came after orientation in the pipeline and the sliders stayed in place. I also meant to assign “h+scroll” to lens shift (horizontal). This no longer makes sense, since they would depend on image orientation. Any thoughs?

Does nobody have any thoughts about this? Or maybe a feature request on github would be better?

I’d even call it a bug.

Yes, I’ve thought about that too.
