Description
Currently, the Keyboard Shortcuts list only displays and allows searching by the primary keyboard shortcut. However, some actions have additional shortcuts by default. This makes it harder to learn about these additional shortcuts and makes it much harder to spot shortcut conflicts, as only conflicts with primary shortcuts seem to be reported.
It would be very helpful if the Keyboard Shortcuts list could display *all* the shortcuts that are currently available, including these secondary ones. To help differentiate multiple shortcuts from a combo, perhaps an extra wide space could be used between them instead of a comma, or maybe a half-opacity interpunct.
Additionally, it would be nice if there was some indication that a shortcut has been modified or that it is the default. An icon would probably be best, since icons could be used even on those shortcuts that are unset, unlike differing text styles/colours.
