Hi David,
Actually Im a TCL primer. This is the first time Im dealing with.
That is why I kept it simple ( ie both accel-key and accel-label need
to be defined in config ).
I think, git-cola is using Qt style representation accel-key in the config file.
Is git-cola is an official tool from git ? like git-gui?
if not ,
My suggesion is, it is better to seperate config fields according to
application-domain
like, "git-gui-accel = <Ctrl-l>" etc..
Other vise there is good chance for conflicts. ( Eg: consider the case
that, <Ctrl-p> was assined to a custom tool by git-cola )
Currently this patch will not handle any conflicting shortcuts. I
think custom shortcuts will overwrite the other.
