Summary: broken shortcut keys

Initial Comment:
Idle menu entries can include a "_" indicating to use 
that character for a keyboard shortcut.  

Because Typing the key actually runs the shortcut 
(instead of just moving along the menu), there is no 
way to use the same shortcut on more than one entry -- 
listing it just misleads people into accidentally 
requesting the wrong command.

Unfortunately, the default configuration does this for 
the File menu.  It claims that Alt-f-p will save a 
copy as and print, but it actually just opens a path 
browser.

This change
(1)  Uses the y key for save Cop_y
(2)  Stops pretending to have a key for print.

I'll trust someone else's judgement on whether this is 
a bugfix (the advertised shortcuts don't work) or a 
feature (particularly the new binding for copy).

Changing priority to 7 because I consider it a bug, but am 
reluctant to push GUI changes after release.
