Hello, Chris!

I was just testing the hotkeys dialogs on BZR6427 on Arch Linux 64bit
and hope to be able to give you some useful feedback:

The behaviour on resizing the dialog seems to be different in kicad
vs. eeschema / pcbnew. When you are resizing the dialogs in the width
the Hotkey column gets bigger and bigger in kicad.
Manual resizing of the columns is not available (yet).

The text above the Treeview doesn't re-wrap on resize.

Then, I am a bit worried about the Reset button.
Imagine I've changed several hotkeys but only want
to reset one of the keys back to its default.
Once I hit the Reset button, all keys get set back
to kicad defaults and not only the one with the
highlit row.
Oops... Do I need to restart from beginning?

I might be very picky in these things, but I really try
to avoid getting used to non-intuitive behaviour in programs.
(Was doing lots of sw qualification in the past.)

Regards,

CKO
