Implements the first pillar of #574: a "Shortcuts" preferences page letting
users rebind, search and reset every keyboard shortcut in the app.
What it does
- New ShortcutManager singleton: every one of the ~95 setShortcut()/
setShortcuts() call sites across qet.cpp, qetmainwindow.cpp,
elementspanelwidget.cpp, autonumberingdockwidget.cpp, richtexteditor.cpp,
qetdiagrameditor.cpp, qettemplateeditor.cpp and qetelementeditor.cpp now
calls registerAction(target, id, category, default_sequence) instead,
which applies the user's saved override (or the default) and remembers
the target for later editing.
- New ShortcutsConfigPage, added to the existing "Configurer QElectroTech"
dialog: a filterable table of every registered shortcut, grouped by
category, each with a QKeySequenceEdit and a per-row reset button, plus a
"reset all" button. Bindings are only persisted (via
ShortcutManager::setSequence()) when the dialog is accepted.
- Conflict detection: rows whose currently-edited sequence collides with
another row are highlighted with a tooltip naming the conflicting action.
- Overrides are stored under a "shortcuts/" QSettings group, one key per
id, keyed to match the id (not persisted at all when equal to the
hardcoded default), so a future QET version can safely raise a default
for anyone who never customized it.
Design notes
- Targets are handled generically via QObject rather than QAction, since one
call site (autonumberingdockwidget's "Configurer" button) is a
QPushButton, not a QAction. Both declare an identical "shortcut"
QKeySequence Q_PROPERTY, so registerAction() reads/writes it through the
property system instead of needing a separate code path.
- Several live targets can share one id at once -- QET allows multiple
windows of the same kind (diagram editor, element editor...) open
simultaneously, each constructing its own QAction with the same id.
setSequence() updates every live target for that id in one call, so a
rebind takes effect in all open windows immediately, without restart.
- A shortcut's description is captured from its target's text() the first
time that id is registered, then cached -- so the config page stays
correct even after the owning window is closed. One consequence: a
shortcut belonging to an on-demand window (element editor, title block
editor, rich text editor) only appears in the list once that window has
been opened at least once in the current session, since nothing has
registered its id yet otherwise.
Testing
Full CMake build (qmake CONFIG+=no_kf5, Qt 5.15) compiles clean with zero
errors and zero new warnings. Verified end-to-end in a real running session
(Xvfb + xdotool):
- The Shortcuts page appears in Configure QElectroTech with the right icon,
lists every always-registered shortcut with correct category/action name/
current binding.
- The filter box correctly narrows the list, and correctly returns nothing
for an action whose owning window hasn't been constructed yet this
session (confirming the on-demand-registration behavior above is working
as designed, not silently broken).
- Conflict detection correctly flagged a real pre-existing same-key overlap
between "Supprimer" (delete selection, Del) and "Supprimer ce folio"
(delete diagram from panel, Del) -- both highlighted with explanatory
tooltips.
- Rebound "Manuel en ligne" to Ctrl+Shift+M, clicked OK: persisted under
[shortcuts] in QElectroTech.conf, and the Aide menu's entry showed the new
binding immediately, no restart needed.
- Reopened the dialog: the rebind was still shown. Clicked its per-row
reset button, then OK: the settings key was removed entirely (not stored
as "F1"), correctly falling back to the hardcoded default.
Retrofitting the Tab/Shift+Tab, select-all (#585) and Ctrl+G jump-to-element
(#586) shortcuts through this registry is left for a follow-up once those
PRs land, to avoid re-merging still-open branches into this one.

Two further empty Qt6 guard branches found by ispyisail in
qelectrotech#553:
- Element editor parts list: the QGraphicsItem* was only stored into
the list item on Qt5, so on Qt6 selecting a part in the list silently
stopped selecting it on the canvas. QVariant::fromValue() works on
both (Qt itself declares the metatype), guard removed.
- Print dialog: setEnabledOptions() is a Qt4-era API removed in Qt6;
setOptions() is the modern spelling with the same replace-the-set
semantics and exists on both, guard removed.
Both builds (Qt 5.15.2 and Qt 6.11.1) compile clean.

qAsConst was deprecated in Qt 6.6; std::as_const (C++17, already the
project standard) is the drop-in replacement. Clears 46 -Wdeprecated-
declarations warnings across 18 files. No behavioural change.
Now that the problem with the translations of keyboard shortcuts has been resolved and rotation using the space bar works reliably in principle, I took a closer look at the rotation function itself in the element editor.
I noticed, for example, that arcs can be rotated at an angle of 15°. This doesn't really make sense, as the “arc” part doesn't have the “rotation” property. There is only width and height.
And somehow rotating arcs didn't work well: start- and span-angles weren't adjusted.
Lines and polygons can be rotated in 15° increments, which doesn't make much sense, if other parts that can only be rotated in 90° increments are selected at the same time.
To make a long story short:
I reworked the rotation functions of the graphical parts so that now all parts are rotated in 90° steps around the origin! This means that it is now possible to mark several parts and rotate them around the same point at the same time!
In addition, the functions for mirroring graphic parts at y-axis (shortcut "M") and flipping at x-axis (shortcut "F") have been implemented.
I have saved the text elements for later!

In the part list widget, the terminal name is empty if terminal haven't
got name.
Now "terminal" is always displayed and if the terminal have a name the
name is appended to "terminal".
Example :
if the terminal name is 24 then the the part list widget show "terminal
: 24"
Because strange behaviour with Qt::key_space if used for keyPressEvent
and also in shortcut.
Now the shortcut for the rotate action is ctrl + R and key_space to
rotate terminal on the fly before placing it in the drawing.
* Some types of elements need to specialize the setRotation method in order to behave correctly :
- PartTerminal needs to call setOrientation
- PartLine, PartRectangle and PartPolygon need a different rotation center.
