#10620: [FR] make reassigning shurtcuts (hotkeys) feature optional/more obvious

 It might be way more usable (and less embarrassing) if shortcut adjustment
 were a feature specifically enabled in preferences so that accidental
 modification[1] wouldn't have left a person wondering.

 I've just been through exactly the same story as described in [2] (on the
 "local linux guru" side), and while remembering good ol' days when
 keyboard shortcuts were changeable the same way in gimp 1.x, I didn't
 manage to come up with the idea that accidentally pressing Alt followed by
 a key in conversation window would change the "New instant message"
 shortcut and require selecting that menu item and hitting Backspace.

 Popping up a confirmation dialog might help too -- like:

 Achtung, you're going to reassign the keyboard shortcut for this menu
 item.  Are you really really sure you did mean exactly this or should we
 just get over it?

 [x] show this next time

 Thanks in advance.
