The shortcuts Q, W, E and D work only when landscaping toolbar is opened. If it is not, they do nothing. This is IMHO slightly annoying, as you have to watch for the toolbar for being open if you want to use them.

Q,W,E should open the landscape toolbar and select appropriate function if they are pressed when the toolbar is not open. D should either select the dynamite tool on the rail/road/airport/ship toolbar if it is opened (to avoid opening the landscape toolbar if it is not opened and not necessary), or open and select the dynamite tool on the landscape toolbar if none of them is opened.

Technically this could work similarly like the autorail tool on shortcut A that invokes the autorail tool no matter what toolbars are opened currently.
