Summary0017749: [PATCH] Action Search & Style Search not listed in keyboard shortcut menu
DescriptionOne of my favorite things about Scribus is that you can set a custom keyboard shortcut for almost every action. Action Search & Style Search are both pretty new (and amazing) - I noticed that they're not listed in the Preferences > Keyboard Shortcut menu so you can't change the shortcut for them there.

They are listed in the Scribus.rc file, so the shortcut can be edited there, but it'd be great to have them on the keyboard shortcut list.
Additional InformationStyle search is excellent by the way - I've been wanting something like it forever for book typesetting. I do a lot of my scribus work on a laptop and anything that lets me not use the trackpad/mouse is a big efficiency plus.
