What's New:
- new config for hotkeys used now. SynHotkeys.ini (later also "SynHotkeys lexer nnnnn.ini"). one for usual commands and plugins.
- new dialog to configure hotkeys: in Commands dlg (F1), press F9
- old hotkeys not read now: from Syn.ini, from SynPlugins.ini (was bad design)
- you should delete section in Syn.ini: [Template__SyntKeyMapping.AsString]
- hotkeys part in Options dlg: now read-only, cannot change hotkeys there
- SynPlugins.ini: not used last 2 items for command plugins: ;hotkey;flags . To hide command plugin in context menu, now use "_" char prefix in command caption.
- install.inf: in [iniNNN] allowed line "hotkey=" to set command item's hotkey, e.g. combo key is "hotkey=Ctrl+Alt+A * Ctrl+B * Ctrl+C" * removed translations for items (about 300) in Commands dialog (to make translation easy)
