Crtl+i conflicts on a lot of sites with "Italics" formatting. An ability to change keyboard shortcuts and/or be able to open from context menu would make me switch from wasavi.

So Awesome! One thing killing it for me at the moment and making me move to WASAVI is that I can't seem to get it to open in GMAIL. (Shortcut is set to "Italicize" and I can't seem to change it.) Thanks Pal!
