Category Sets are a great way fasten up work with Categories. I feel however that it could be even better. Here is a suggestions:

Make it possible to drop a whole Category Set on a photo/photos. For example I have a Set name "Vacation 2005" with these words: "summer, vacation, 2005, Indonesia".

I select several photos.
I grab and dran'n'drop the whole "Vacation 2005" on a selected photo.
Job done, each selected photo got the 4 keywords, I don't have to individually click each keyword.

Thanks for considering,
Tango

Additional suggestion is to be able to assign keyboard shortcuts to category sets

Here is one thing you can do: You can assign the same keyboard shortcut to multiple single categories. So in your example you could assign "summer, vacation, 2005, Indonesia" to ALT+S.
Whenever you use that on a file, then all these keywords will be assigned to it. Downside, you cannot assign multiple shortcuts to a single category.
