     // This workaround restores the single-key shortcut behaviour by
-    // searching for single-key shortcuts in menus and replacing them
-    // with global application shortcuts that invoke the relevant

-    // As it happens, it also replaces some shortcuts that were
-    // working fine (because they were also associated with toolbar

-    // shortcuts, to avoid an ambiguous shortcut error.

+    // and it removed the shortcut from the action when it created
+    // each new global one, in order to avoid an "ambiguous shortcut"
+    // error in the case where the action was also associated with a
