Hotkeys - Allow other hotkeys to perform Mark For Installion action #266

Description

@advice2020

The current default hotkey for "Mark For Installation" (which is probably one of the most used hotkeys by users) is set to use the hotkey CTRL+I.
To me this key combination can be very awkward to apply for such a commonly used action.
Especially if user is using mouse to navigate
or
ARROW UP/DOWN keys to navigate


Suggesting to also add BOTH of the following hotkeys to also perform this same "Mark For Installation" action.

ENTER/RETURN
If this is not being used for any actions currently, this can be helpful if users are using ARROW UP/DOWN keys to navigate through package list

SPACEBAR
This hotkey could also be helpful if users are using ARROW UP/DOWN keys to navigate through package list
or
using if using mouse to select items


If these hotkey suggestions do get added, I would also consider allowing them to work when multiple package items are selected at the same time in the Package List pane.
Meaning if multiple items in Package List pane are selected, applying the ENTER or SPACEBAR key would mark all the selected items for installation.

Thank you to anyone who reads this

If this hotkey suggestion is agreed with / added, maybe this action could be also be added to the following suggestion post about custom hotkeys #174
