Title:
  can only add a single key combination to the "keyboard shortcut"
  applet

Status in GNOME Control Center:
  Confirmed
Status in gnome-control-center package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  On Ubuntu Feisty -- and I presume all older variants -- each action in
  the Keyboard Shortcuts applet can have only single shortcut attached.
  (The program is "gnome-keybinding-properties".)

  There should be at least a pair of primary/secondary shortcuts for
  each action. (See for example Amarok's global shortcuts.)

  Example usage: I touch-type, and I usually have lots of shortcuts all
  over the keyboard that can be very easily typed when doing other work.
  However, many of them are hard to press one-handed, for example when
  I'm not working and I just want to skip a track. The reverse is also
  true: key combinations that are easy to press one-handed are
  unpleasant to use when touch-typing: these are touches close to the
  corners, and they need some finger-twisting to reach.
