Use Ctrl+Shift+I to open a new instance instead of Ctrl+I

[wavexx]

"Open new instance" overrides the "import" shortcut.

Use Ctrl+Shift+I for new instance, which is definitely less important
than importing new models.

Also document the shortcut in the Keyboard shortcuts dialog.

Fixes #4711

Thanks.

I still think that it should be Ctrl+n for new instances as per about every UI guideline in the world... as outlined I outlined in #4711.

Some pointers why this is important (well, relatively in this hot stinking mess of reality :)

thanks for merging this bubnikv. I do agree with you stefanct in a way but also keep in mind we're already using ctrl+n for scrapping the current plate and starting with a new project, so I'm not sure what would be the best use of this shortcut.

Well, yes of course changing something in the UI will always upset people. https://xkcd.com/1172/ and all that. :) It's still the right thing to do IMHO. If you compare the File menu to any other application that has similar entries, you would never expect "New project" to clear the current one. It's like a browser that opens the default page in the current tab when pressing ctrl+t "forgetting" what was currently open.

There is also a very natural way to do what ctrl+n currently does: ctrl+a, del (there is a small difference regarding saving the project here but changing the new project entry would actually improve things in this regard too IMHO).

So to summarize, yes, this will break the habits of some existing users but would help new ones - and I think even the majority of existing users would profit from it.

It's like this one: Prusa3D by Josef Prusa on Twitter: "POLL: PrusaSlicer Eject button. In the new design, the button appears in a notification after the G-code export. In the old design, the button appears on the right side next to the Export button. We changed it partly because it was easy to hit that button by mistake. https://t.co/pgF7rVKCRk" / Twitter <https://twitter.com/Prusa3D/status/1335972556906618880> út 8. 12. 2020 v 13:09 odesílatel Stefan Tauner <[email protected]> napsal:
