Hello!
When I developed shortcuts customization tool I looked mostly on Qt Creator
implementation. So:
- on gaining focus there is no replacing of current value (in Qt Creator),
and keys are added at the end, but maybe replacing is really more convenient
- maximum length of 4 is because of QKeySequence max length of 4
- backspace button behavior is also came from Qt Creator, but they have
"Reset" button as well, so maybe such change is good
- "reset to defaults" is already acting on both fields
