[Cuis-dev] [Contribution] Keyboard shortcut to run tests with code coverage

[Hernán Wilkinson]

Hi Rocio,
 I'm adding the cuis list to the thread :-)
 I tested it and works great but I found these two problems:
1) The option does not appear on the Method Categories menu, and the 'c'
shortcut is already taken by the "Categorize all uncategorized" option.
2) The shortcut does not work on the messages list ... I do not know why
because the menu option is there.

Could you check and fix these two issues? Regarding the 'c' collision in
the Methods Categories list, maybe we could change 'c' to 'T' (uppercase t)
in all the lists if 'T' is not taken. I'll talk with the code
coverage package when you fix it.

Thanks!
Hernan.
