Following myself...
The keybindings for enlightenment seem to be quite easy to change. I
just copied the /usr/share/enlightenment/config/keybindings.cfg to
~/.enlightenment/keybindings.cfg and edit it.
E.g. to make the logout-dialog come up with Alt-F1, find the
__KEY F1
__EVENT __KEY_PRESS
__MODIFIER_KEY __ALT
__ACTION __A_GOTO_DESK 0
and change the action line to
__ACTION __A_EXIT logout
This works especially if you don't use multiple desktops, as the Alt-F1
is normally used to switch to desktop 0.
Of course you can modify the Ctrl-Alt-Del keybinding or create your own
binding e.g. for Ctrl-F1
__NEXT_ACTION
__KEY F1
__EVENT __KEY_PRESS
__MODIFIER_KEY __CTRL
__ACTION __A_EXIT logout
And you can make the Alt-Tab to bring up the task list
__KEY Tab
__MODIFIER_KEY __ALT
__EVENT __KEY_PRESS
__ACTION __A_FOCUS_NEXT
by changing the action line to
__ACTION __A_SHOW_MENU "taskmenu"
And so on...
