Not all keys definable as shortcuts in Preferences

[Johannes Rudolph]

Not all keys can be used in the preferences. For example, I changed the key of "Browse into Item" from the right arrow key into another key. It is not possible to change it back again, since the right arrow isn't detected after double clicking the line.

I just found an obscure way to get back the default key at least: After double-clicking the line, typing backspace restores the default setting. Perhaps one could put that information into the info line "To edit a shortcut ..."

Changing
  bindingCell.AccelMode = CellRendererAccelMode.Gtk;
to
  bindingCell.AccelMode = CellRendererAccelMode.Other;
in
  /Do/src/Do.UII/KeybindingTreeView.cs, line 48
Seemed to fix this problem in the 0.8 branch. I'm not using the latest branch but the code there looks the same.

This changes the type of the accelerators you can input to be anything rather than requiring them to be only "GTK accelerators". The plain left and rights arrows, for example, are not GTK accelerators since they are not compatible with menu shortcuts.

The proposed fix does help, in terms of binding the arrow keys anyway. It introduces issues binding the <Super> key in Ubuntu and according to our Windows testers, any modifier key. I guess we will have to keep investigating.
