In reality 3 bugs, but filling out more than one is annoying (and they work
worse in combination):

1. If you want to assign an already used shortcut to another action it tells
you that the shortcut is already assigned but not which one.

2. While you assign a new shortcut to a action you can't use the keyboard in
any other way. Maybe only grab the keyboard input if the window is selected?
Would work around the following:

- If the dialog box pops up telling you that the shortcut is already assigned,
you still have no keyboard control and thus can't use <TAB> or <Enter>.
- The window which asks for the new shortcut can be hidden by another window
and it grabs the input while you are on another workspace without any visual
notice that it exists. (Makes for some good pranks)

3. You can't scroll in the action list while you are asked for a new shortcut. 
This restricts how to operate the dialog without necessity. For example I
wanted to find a usable shortcut while the dialog was open but was forced to
close it because I couldn't scroll.
