Gtk applications allow keybindings by selecting a menu item with the
mouse, then hitting a key. So if you select the File/Open item with
the mouse and then press the x key, then you have bound x to the
command which invokes File/Open.
What does the user do, physically, to "select" a menu item with the
mouse but not actually invoke it?
We could probably make an Emacs command easily enough that makes a key
binding by copying another key binding. The second key sequence could
be a menu item. That would not be the exact same interface but it
would provide the same feature and it would fit Emacs better. Is that
good enough?
What I would really like is to integrate customization of key bindings
in to Custom.
