Allow <Super>V as History hotkey

[Rafael Bodill]

In ClipIt and Parcellite I could set the history key binding to <Super>V and it was such a delight! I've tried setting <Super>V in Diodon, but it doesn't work. It actually disables my "v" key or something..

Fixing this will allow a much faster and convenient hotkey for bringing up the history menu.

I actually succeeded setting <Alt>V which is even better.. It worked only after a restart. Good enough, you can close this issue if you'd like.

Rafael,

<Super>+V is taken by the Unity Video Lens.

Dariel, I'm using Xubuntu, no Unity here! And furthermore, <Super>+V works as expected with ClipIt.

Just checked on XFCE and it seems that there is an issue with Super+V which works fine with clipit.

Will need to look into this.

Decision has been made to drop the internal Diodon hotkey feature and leave the responsibility of register a custom shortcut up to the desktop environment.

You can find more details here how you can do this:

Depending on the DE you use but <Super>V should work or otherwise it is an issue of the specific DE.
