How can I change the IDE keyboard shortcuts in Delphi?

I want to change "Run" from F9 to F5 and "Add Breakpoint" from F5 to F9

I'm currently programming Delphi at home and C# at work and these 2 shortcut keys are confusing because they are the opposites of each other!

@Kobus, you can map the keys to simulate the behavior of visual Studio IDE using the "key mappings" tab, located in tools->Editor options menu.

Another option is install Gexperts, and use the expert IDE menu shortcuts, This expert enables you to configure any of the IDE menu shortcuts.
