Overwriting Keybindings NEXTRELEASE

Shortcuts can be overwritten in the config by 

[keybinds]
"BINDING" = "TOOL-OR-COMMAND"

Where BINDING follows the GTK syntax. This means modifiers are enclosed in angle brackets (e.g., <mod>) and keys are specified by name (for example, - must be written as minus).

Pressing any unbound key will print its name to the console.

Setting a binding to "none" will unbind it.

The defaults are listed in the config.toml.
