Is there any chance you could arrange that inserting a new key
sequence into the list will get its current global binding and use
that initially as the specified binding?  That would provide the ability
to "import" any existing binding into customization.

Perhaps the way to do it is that changing the value of the key
sequence field, when the binding field is unspecified, substitutes in
the current binding of that key sequence.

Another alternative method is that display of the key sequence field
could show its current global binding in parentheses.
