/**
 * Handle shortcuts.
 *
 * Allow a user to configure shortcuts
 * through application configuration files or through the
 * KKeyChooser GUI.
 *
 * A KAccel contains a list of accelerator actions.
 *
 * For example, CTRL+Key_P could be a shortcut for printing a document. The key
 * codes are listed in tqnamespace.h. "Print" could be the action name for printing.
 * The action name identifies the shortcut in configuration files and the
 * KKeyChooser GUI.
 *
 * A KAccel object handles key events sent to its parent widget and to all
 * children of this parent widget.  The most recently created KAccel object
 * has precedence over any KAccel objects created before it.
 * When a shortcut pressed, KAccel calls the slot to which it has been
 * connected. If you want to set global accelerators, independent of the window
 * which has the focus, use KGlobalAccel.
 *
 * Reconfiguration of a given shortcut can be prevented by specifying
 * that an accelerator item is not configurable when it is inserted. A special
 * group of non-configurable key bindings are known as the
 * standard accelerators.
 *
 * The standard accelerators appear repeatedly in applications for
 * standard document actions such as printing and saving. A convenience method is
 * available to insert and connect these accelerators which are configurable on
 * a desktop-wide basis.
 *
 * It is possible for a user to choose to have no key associated with
 * an action.
 *
 * The translated first argument for insertItem() is used only
 * in the configuration dialog.
 *\code
 * KAccel* pAccel = new KAccel( this );
 *
 * // Insert an action "Scroll Up" which is associated with the "Up" key:
 * pAccel->insert( "Scroll Up", i18n("Scroll up"),
 *                       i18n("Scroll up the current document by one line."),
 *                       Qt::Key_Up, this, TQT_SLOT(slotScrollUp()) );
 * // Insert an standard acclerator action.
 * pAccel->insert( KStdAccel::Print, this, TQT_SLOT(slotPrint()) );

 * // application's config file.
