individual flipping of several objects

Bug Description

I use "h" and "v" keys all the time for flipping objects
vertically/horizontally. I haven't sound a fast way to select a number of
object and then flip them around their individual centers instead of the
center of the whole selected area.

The "transform" dialog allows "Apply to each object individually" but it
doesn't flip and it's a hassle to use it if it's a frequent operation.
Maybe shift+h/v or ctrl+h/v could do "individual flip"?

I agree, this could be handy to have shortcuts dedicated to flip each selected object individualy.

Here's a workaround:

Select all the objects and open the transform dialog.

Go to the "Scale" tab and set the width to -100% (_negative_ 100%)

Make sure the "Apply to each object separately" box is checked, then hit apply.

Voila. Not exactly intuitive, but it works.

Clarification: At least, it works in my environment (0.48+ dev, Linux Mint 16 running KDE)
