The Customizer SpSaveItems should save the shortcut and not their text representation

[pyscripter]

SpSaveItems saves spTBXItems and their shortcuts like this:

[Items]
Count=230
0=MainToolBar, tbiFileNewModule, Ctrl+N
1=MainToolBar, tbiFileOpen, Ctrl+O

There are issues with persisting shortcuts in their text representation:

ShortcutToText uses the Windows GetKeyNameText function the result of which is dependent on the active keyboard language layout.

Example:

Same virtual code with a russian keyboard active

So what you save depends on the active keyboard layout. And if you load the items when a different keyboard layout is active, shortcuts get mixed-up or lost.

Another example:

Another issue is that different shortcuts have the same text representation.

Example Ctrl + / (keyboard) Ctrl+ NUMPAD DIVIDE also represented as CTRL+/. But they correspond to different keys. The textual representation cannot make the distinction.

This is partially a problem of the ShortcutToText function:

You can see that the Hotkey control correctly differentiates, but ShortcutToText does not.

I think it more robust to save the shortcut as integers.
