I think you still have the point of view where CustomShortcut is always the 
one that is actually used, and it's just a question of whether or not it 
matches the Default.  I am proposing a shift in the way shortcuts are handled 
internally, such that the Default shortcut is the one that is actually 
used...by default.  The Custom one is only used when it is defined.  This is 
more consistent with what the words "Default" and "Custom" actually mean.

What exactly do you mean by "disable the default shortcut"?  In my imagined 
scheme, the Default is always there, it is simply overridden if a Custom 
shortcut has been defined, and when the Custom is undefined (i.e., set to 
null), the shortcut reverts to the default.  What is the use case for needing 
to "disable" the default in some other way?
