No way to set keyboard shortcuts for to level menu elements

Describe the bug In Settings there is an option to set keyboard shortcuts for menu items. However there is no way to set keyboard shortcuts for top level menu items like: Edit, Format, Search, etc. This is especially annoying their default keyboard shortcuts (Alt+e,o,s) are exactly the ones that are used in Polish language to type letters ę,ó,ś used in many words 😄

You can modify the accelerators in the file https://github.com/giuspen/cherrytree/blob/master/po/pl.po and submit a pull request or send the file to me by email. Is that ok? For example msgid "_File" msgstr "_Plik" If you change to msgstr "P_lik" The accelerator will become the letter L

I think there is not many changes to make if you want to hardcode them, here is a list of my suggestions of what to change:

msgstr "_Edycja"   -> msgstr "Edyc_ja" # no good candidate IMHO as e is ę, d is used for tree c is ć and a is ą :D 

msgstr "F_ormat" ->  msgstr "For_mat"

msgstr "_Szukaj" -> msgstr "Sz_ukaj" # s is ś and z is ż :)

msgstr "_Zakładki"  -> msgstr "Za_kładki"  # z is ż, a is ą :)

Also I just noticed that Alt+Shift+X removes a line however in Polish is should type Ź 😄

@sectroyer if none of the letters are suitable another solution is possible, something like: "_Edycja" -> "Edycja (_P)" For example to set the P as accelerator. Such solution is used for example in the Chinese menus. Let me know your decision.

Currently _P is used for File -> Plik (_P) it's much better suited :) J isn't currently used so I think it's best as it's part of Edycja word at least 😄I just gave examples of letters that I don't see any conflict for. I think when there is a letter available that is part of accelerated word it's best to use it. Tough anything that doesn't conflict with Polish letters is okay for me 😄

Ok I applied your change in https://github.com/giuspen/cherrytree/commit/62a790b8a1c9aa2498cd21020039da7028c817c2 - note that unwanted keyboard shortcuts connected to actions can be disabled in the preferences dialog, tab keyboard shortcuts

Disabling keyboard shortcuts for top level elements (like Edit, Format, Tools, etc.) is not possible via keyboard shortcuts tab 😄

I recently started using 1.0.2. Almost everything works as expected and I can type Polish special characters. Except Alt+z, looks it's still assigned to Bookmarks (Zakładki).

Ok I just fixed the last accelerator, you'll find it in upcoming 1.0.3
