/**
 * @internal
 * Handle keyboard accelerators.
 *
 * Allow an user to configure
 * key bindings through application configuration files or through the
 * KKeyChooser GUI.
 *
 * A KAccel contains a list of accelerator items. Each accelerator item
 * consists of an action name and a keyboard code combined with modifiers
 * (Shift, Ctrl and Alt.)
 *
 * For example, "Ctrl+P" could be a shortcut for printing a document. The key
 * codes are listed in ckey.h. "Print" could be the action name for printing.
 * The action name identifies the key binding in configuration files and the
 * KKeyChooser GUI.
 *
 * When pressed, an accelerator key calls the slot to which it has been
 * connected. Accelerator items can be connected so that a key will activate
 * two different slots.
 *
 * A KAccel object handles key events sent to its parent widget and to all
 * children of this parent widget.
 *
 * Key binding reconfiguration during run time 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. Convenience methods are
 * 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 *a = new KAccel( myWindow );
 * // Insert an action "Scroll Up" which is associated with the "Up" key:
 * a->insertItem( i18n("Scroll Up"), "Scroll Up", "Up" );
 * // Insert an action "Scroll Down" which is not associated with any key:
 * a->insertItem( i18n("Scroll Down"), "Scroll Down", 0);
 * a->connectItem( "Scroll up", myWindow, TQT_SLOT( scrollUp() ) );
 * // a->insertStdItem( KStdAccel::Print ); //not necessary, since it
 *	// is done automatially with the
 *	// connect below!
 * a->connectItem(KStdAccel::Print, myWindow, TQT_SLOT( printDoc() ) );
 *
 * a->readSettings();
 *\endcode
 *
 * If a shortcut has a menu entry as well, you could insert them like
 * this. The example is again the KStdAccel::Print from above.
 *
 * \code
 * int id;
 * id = popup->insertItem("&Print",this, TQT_SLOT(printDoc()));
 * a->changeMenuAccel(popup, id, KStdAccel::Print );
 * \endcode
 *
 * If you want a somewhat "exotic" name for your standard print action, like
 *   id = popup->insertItem(i18n("Print &Document"),this, TQT_SLOT(printDoc()));
 * it might be a good idea to insert the standard action before as
 *          a->insertStdItem( KStdAccel::Print, i18n("Print Document") )
 * as well, so that the user can easily find the corresponding function.
 *
 * This technique works for other actions as well.  Your "scroll up" function
 * in a menu could be done with
 *
 * \code
 *    id = popup->insertItem(i18n"Scroll &up",this, TQT_SLOT(scrollUp()));
 *    a->changeMenuAccel(popup, id, "Scroll Up" );
 * \endcode
 *
 * Please keep the order right:  First insert all functions in the
 * acceleratior, then call a -> readSettings() and @em then build your
 * menu structure.
 *
 * @short Configurable key binding support.
