There is no way to unset action 'shortcut' property

[Renato Araujo Oliveira Filho]

Since all the actions are enabled and active by default (causing the Ambiguous bug#1514856) I implement a workaround in my app to disable action shortcuts if the page is not active. Something like:

shortcut: page.active ? "Esc" : ""

The problem is, that I am receiving serveral error messages on terminal while running the app:

"QML Action: Invalid shortcut:"

---------------------------------
Note: the shortcut (and any property that can be reset) should be cleared/reset using undefined. So the above binding should look like:
shortcut: page.active ? "Esc" : undefined

Note2: actions added to any ActionItem derived type will automatically activate/deactivate depending on the page or dialog activation. This means that those Actions which are in an inactive Page will not be active, so there will be no need for the above binding.

as workaround you can disable the action instead of trying to clear the shortcut value.

Also I noticed that the application is crashing while using shortcuts.

Then it is critical!
