Editing shortcuts

Vast parses shortcuts into modifier/key combinations and checks the configured bindings rather than treating them as arbitrary labels.

If a custom binding becomes inconvenient, Reset shortcuts restores the default map.

The old native ad-blocker shortcut is no longer a browser action in 0.3.0. Manage Adblocker for Vast through its extension controls.
