Some hotkeys disabled in 6.5 wxgui

Description

Hi,

In the Grass 6.5 wxpython gui, using Ctrl+E closes the wxgui down nicely, but Ctrl+Q doesn't exit Grass completely, it performs the same function as Ctrl+E; is it supposed to exit Grass, including exiting it from the shell as well?

In trunk, Ctrl+Q exits both the wxpython gui and closes the Grass session running on the shell.

One other thing I noticed about the wxpython hotkeys - both 6.5 and trunk have the 'add raster layer' and 'add vector layer' button with hotkeys labelled Ctrl+R and Ctrl+V respectively, but these hotkeys seem to be disabled.

Thanks,

~ Eric.

The GRASS shutdown, with Cmd/Ctl?-Q or from the menus, doesn't work for me in GRASS 7 either. It's a good idea, but needs some work still.

Ctrl/Cmd?-V is used for the Paste function on all platforms and should not be mapped to a special function in GRASS. Same thing goes for Ctrl/Cmd?-C (copy), Ctrl/Cmd?-X (cut), Ctrl/Cmd?-W (close window), Ctrl/Cmd?-A (select all), and Ctrl/Cmd?-Z (undo). Additionally, Ctrl/Cmd?-P is commonly used for print, Ctrl/Cmd?-F for find, Ctrl/Cmd?-G find again, and Ctrl/Cmd?-O for open. It would be wise to avoid these common hot key mappings too.
