[Cuis-dev] Adding some shortcuts to Cuis

[Luciano Notarfrancesco]

I think it would be nice to have a more “pluggable” mechanism for adding or
changing shortcuts, but I would make it as simple as possible in the base
image and put any new tools in optional packages. Also, perhaps not add all
possible shortcuts that we can came up with, but instead make it very easy
for anyone to set custom shortcuts.
In my own personal image I added global shortcuts for lots of things,
because I prefer not use menus so much. You can see the modifications I
made to methods in the base image at the bottom of this source file (not
updated to the latest Cuis, but you can get an idea of how it works)
