Shift-A to import file types

When building big scenes, I find myself adding assets in file types like .obj, .fbx, .abc and so on. And I've noticed how uneconomic it is for the Import files to be up under the "File" menu (because of workflow). I've noticed how, instead of going up to "File" to import an object, I automatically go to "Shift - A" instead. I'm suggesting that the new Import menu be under the "Shift - A" menu after all, .vdb files are already under the menu... I think this would be a great time saver when it comes to scene building!

This would be flawless with autodetect file type that will come in the next versions. I use machin3tools for now but the pie menu is limited to fbx and obj. Alternatively you can add the Import menu to quick favourites.

Could be a funny addon to make.
