We could have a better Keyboard Customization dialog.

The problems:

• The commands are not easy to find. They're not displayed in alphabetical order and new users are not automatically drawn to know the group a particular command is fit in, such as Multi Commander (Core) or Explorer Panel. We have to select between four combinations of options in the two dropdowns until we find the command.
• The commands are not named exactly how they work. For example, "Copy current item's full path to clipboard" is named "Files/Folders path and name", which is not intuitive, since there is no mention to the verb (copy).
• There is no search or filter box. This could expedite dramatically.

The proposed solutions:

• 1. Order the commands alphabetically and allow the user to sort them by click on the top of the columns "Command" and "Shortcut key".
• Name the commands properly and consider adding an "all" option under the "module" drop-down menu so that all options would be in the same list.
• Add a filter box so that we can search the command or the keyboard shortcut. 3.1 Consider having plain text (json) settings for the keyboard shortcuts, just like Sublime Text or Visual Studio Code.

P.s. I can't even find the item "Customize Keyboard setup" in the list so I can set a keyboard shortcut to open this dialog itself.

Its planned to redo how that entire dialog works. But the entire keyboard customization system is also planned to be rewritten, and it will not happen before that is done.

Good to know, Mathias! Thanks!
