"Apply Changes" should have Keyboard Shortcut in Control Editor (e.g. Ctrl+Shift+C)

Status: Declined

Any idea that has received less than 2 kudos within 2 years after posting will be automatically declined. 

Ctrl+Shift+A is currrently designated for Align Items.  Is Ctrl+Shift+C used yet?

 

When I try to add the keyboard shortcut myself, it doesn't take.  I opened the Control Editor and navigated to Tools » Options, typed desired shortcut, pressed Set, clicked OK:

But again, the shortcut doesn't take.  I called NI years ago about this, and the AE duplicated the behavior and filed a CAR.  Nothing happened.  I currently get this error:

Even if there are no resources available to fix the root issue, could we get a permanent keyboard shortcut for Apply Changes?  (Thanks.)

This idea was primarily dedicated to shining the spotlight on the dysfunction of custom shortcuts in the control editor, which as of 2014 SP1 (possibly before) appear to be working.
