I like the idea, but I'm not willing to dedicate four Quick Drop shortcuts to it.  I'd implement it with a pop-up that recieved the direction, perhaps like this:

Thank you for your feedback.

I will change it.

I found that <Ctrl><x> is not good shortcut when you forgot press <Ctrl><space> 🙂

For me personally, I avoid assigning QDKS to the X, C, or V keys, as users may want to cut/copy/paste text into the Quick Drop text box, and a QDKS assigned to one of these keys would prevent this.
