unify lists behavior / improve UX

Toolbar

• combobox
  • make Viewer selected by default
    as this is the most common mode

• left list
  • add shortcuts/mouse
    - del - to remove item
    - mouse double-click - to remove item

• right list
  • add header (same as in Shortcuts)
    so its possible to sort items by command name
  • add shortcuts/mouse
    - mouse double-click - to add item
    - mouse drag&drop - to add item from right to the left list
  • (optional) allow multiple items selection

Shortcuts

• combobox
  • make Viewer selected by default
    as this is the most common mode

• list
  • improve filter
    - add shortcut combination to the search string
    there are several ways to implement this, the easiest is to add a 5th invisible column with the text "Action&Shortcut&Command name" (eg AverageCtrl+3cmd_rating3)
    so when "Ctrl" is typed - it will show all shortcuts with Ctrl
  • add shortcut
    - del - to remove shortcut

Labels

• left list
  • add shortcuts/mouse
    - del - to remove item
    - mouse drag&drop - to reposition items

• right list
  • add filter
  • add header (same as in Shortcuts)
    so its possible to sort items by command name
