    Bug 775931 - Shortcut for non-existing action shadows existing one. · 81d9da0c
    Jehan authored
    Current logics of dealing with duplicate accelerators was just to delete
    one randomly. This works ok in most case since we can't be in the head
    of people and can't know which one they want to keep (yet we can't keep
    both because that makes it very complicated to reset the shortcut
    appropriately by hand/GUI, without a tedious work of researching which
    other action uses the same shortcut. See commit 2a232398).
    
    There is still some cases where we can be a bit more clever than random
    deletion: when one of the accelerator is mapped to a non-existing
    action. In this case, let's delete this accelerator in priority. Not
    only the chances of this being the expected result are higher; but even
    worse, there is anyway no GUI way to delete the accelerator for the
    non-existing action! Thus you could try and reset your existing action's
    shortcut as many times as you want in the GUI, it would always end up
    deleted at next startup!
    
    Note that if the non-existing action's shortcut has no duplicate, it
    won't be deleted. This ensure that you could uninstall a plugin, then
    reinstall it later and still have your custom shortcuts saved in the
    meantime. A shortcut of a non-existing action will *only* be cleaned out
    if it is redundant with the shortcut of an existing action.
