Description
Your idea
If a user has cleared a default shortcut, it is reinstated when upgrading - regardless of whether this causes a conflict with a custom shortcut for another action.

Done means an explicitly cleared shortcut remains cleared after an upgrade, including when another action has a custom shortcut.
