Description
Your idea
In prior version (v3) of MuseScore there was a Print button on the Shortcuts display to print a listing (report) of shortcut names + key assignment, either to a printer or PDF. For some reason this option was not carried over to v4 and should be. The only option now is to Export to an .xml file, which is useless for simple documentation of shortcuts, especially if the user adds/customizes shortcuts. The code for printing must exist in the prior v3 code; please restore it to v4. (see screenshot, lower right-hand corner)
Problem to be solved
An .xml file is useless for documentation of the shortcuts list. The simple report PDF (not xml code) was convertible to Word or Excel for documenting planned and implemented personal customizations and is necessary for efficient transfer to the newer version.

Research direction
Compare the prior MuseScore v3 Shortcuts display with the v4 Shortcuts display, focusing on the removed Print option and the existing XML export. Restore equivalent printing or PDF output for the shortcuts list, including customized shortcuts, and verify that the resulting report is usable for documentation.
