Description Nelson Benitez 2011-11-29 13:17:37 UTC 
hi, in the bottom of Keybindings dialog it says:

'To edit a shortcut, click the row and hold down the new keys or press Backspace to clear'

and so I was struggling for some time trying to following that indications but with no result, after I discovered 'clicking the row' is not enough because you need to also click the 'keybinding column' in order to edit it.

Ideally the ui should be intuitive enough to not incorporate any 'instructions text' but if it's needed then please dont make it wrong.

So, my suggestion, where it says 'click the row' it should say 'click the row and then click on the keybinding text'


sorry if I may sound harsh this comes from a frustrated user :-(
