ok, it does work but is very crytpic and non-user friendly, I have proof that it works by a move and a suggested help:
(needs 2 steps to add)

Suggesting that we add text like this:
   <PressAnyKey>
in the dialog to change a keybinding
to indicate a user needs to press , e.g. F5 to use the F5 key to set.
its rather cryptic as you see.

I created movie to show how to set them.

And added suggested fix , see screenshots

It seems this is not an issue any longer. Should this issue be closed?
