This issue has diverged between master and 5.1. (The original reporter was on 5.1 and Oleg is on master)

* In 5.1, the issue only exists inside pcbnew, gerbview and the footprint editor (not eeschema, symbol editor or the page layout editor).
* In master the issue has now regressed into every program (pcbnew, gerbview, footprint editor, eeschema, symbol editor and page layout editor).

As a fix, I am going to move the help launcher into an action so that it can be given a user-definable hotkey and then also appear on the hotkey map. That way the duplicate hotkey checker will flag if anything else shares it as well.

The larger issue is still what should the default hotkey for help be. Since F1 didn't launch help in the past, we could make the default another key like Shift+F1 (since Ctrl+F1 lists the hotkeys) without throwing off too many users (or at least fewer users than changing the zoom key would).
