This somehow got lost in my email, but I have now found a case where this
is needed in the "wild" (the master branch). For bug
https://bugs.launchpad.net/kicad/+bug/1834547, it appears that on Linux the
hotkey architecture is trying to run the action for place symbol pin
instead of the place power action. These two actions are never active on
the same editing session, so it is a valid configuration. Applying this
patch fixes the behavior, and the place power symbol action is actually
called.
