ok.

The question was more is it possible to remove some of the code of
qt/macosx that is duplicated in hotkeys/qt/mac, like "faster_fine",
"slower_fine", etc...

Well, yes, but for example, see AdjustRateFine() in
modules/control/hotkeys.c that isn't available in qt/macos without
recoding it completly.
(The 2 actions related to this function are the
only ACTIONID used in Qt, btw... Mac is not as good though...)
