Public bug reported:

I wish to assign the "Close window" action in gnome-control-center ->
Keyboard -> Shortcuts -> Windows to multiple buttons on my keyboard.
Specifically, I would like the traditional Alt-F4 to work as well as the
easier to hit single pause/break button which I otherwise don't use.

When I click on "Close window" in the GUI, it allows me to choose
exactly one keybinding to be assigned to this action.    It should allow
multiple bindings per action.

This is particularly unfortunate, as multiple keybindings IS supported
under the hood.  If I use dconf-editor to change
org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings close to ['Pause', '<Alt>F4'], then
both keybindings take effect.  The GUI is all that is limiting this
functionality.
