Summary0003586: Hotkeys: Some usability problems
DescriptionThere are several problem in the current implementation of Hotkeys:

1. Setting a hotkey for a script doesn't refresh it in menu.
2. Execute Script action doesn't show which script would be executed in the list of hotkeys, i.e. instead of 'General: Execute Script' there should be 'General: Execute <Script name>', e.g. 'General: Execute Statistics'.
3. In the list of available scripts, there are '&' characters present, they should be removed.
4. In the list of available scripts, there is an empty string present, it doesn't seem to be of any use.
5. 'Function:' field isn't editable and so it doesn't seem to be really useful for the user, it should be removed.
6. 'Script:' field should only be visible when user selects 'General: Execute Script' action.
7. Alternatively, and possibly better, all scripts could be present in the Actions drop down like: 'General: Execute Script: <Script name>' so that we could get rid of scripts drop down completely. This way, items 2,4 and 6 wouldn't have to be fixed at all.
8. Apply button in Options dialog doesn't seem to be really useful, it's a usability problem, it should be removed and all changes should automatically be applied. Or, at least some easy way should be added to add a new short-cut.
TagsNo tags attached.

8. The [Apply] button is needed -- otherwise it's too easy to accidentally change an existing key. But I agree that it should be easier to add a hotkey. i would suggest that this could done by adding a new entry called '<New Hotkey...>' to the list of hotkeys.

When the user clicks this, it would create a blank entry in the hotkey config interface for the user to fill in. Clicking 'Apply' would then commit the change (very similar to how AutoPlaylist criteria works).
