Further Keybinds / Keybind UI #600

I have recently setup a small CNC workspace separated from my computer, consequently I've chosen a one handed auxiliary keyboard for onsite controls, the problem I've run into is the functions that can be accessed via keyboard alone are rather limited and those keyboard actions that Are available had to be searched out via another feature thread.

A heading in the settings window clearly defining all available keybinds and allowing for customization of same. Assigning as many clickable functions from the main UI to be available in the aforementioned settings window. Ie Home, Spindle start/stop, Emergency Stop, Zero Axis(s), Start, Pause and Abort.

unreliable keyboard-to-mouse macros reliant on window position and focus.

With the ability to assign all the main functions to keys, one could easily create a traditional looking CNC console at home! Love your work mate! I have no idea if I would've many any progress at all in my current project without you!
