Bind any keys to custom custom repl commands

[PEZ]

We can provide a way to run custom repl commands bound to any shortcut if we let the user specify the command snippet definition as args to the shortcut binding.

It would allow a keybinding like this:

    {
        "key": "ctrl+alt+u alt+enter",
        "command": "calva.runCustomREPLCommand",
        "args": {
            "ns": "user",
            "snippet": "$current-form"
        }
    },

This would evaluate the current form in the user namespace.

To achieve this today you need to first define a custom repl command snippet in settings, giving it some key, then bind the shortcut providing the key:

settings.json:

    "calva.customREPLCommandSnippets": [
        {
            "name": "Eval Current Form in user NS",
            "key": "eval-current-form-in-user-ns",
            "ns": "user",
            "snippet": "$current-form"
        },

keybindings.json:

    {
        "key": "ctrl+alt+u alt+enter",
        "command": "calva.runCustomREPLCommand",
        "args": "eval-current-form-in-user-ns"
    }

Another difference between the two implementations would be that with a direct shortcut binding, you will not get the snippet added to the custom repl commands menu. But you can always define it the second way, if you like.

Just a note: I think (assuming other shortcuts set to default) the keyboard shortcut used in this example would better align with $top-level-form instead of $current-form.

I guess you mean the alt+enter part of the chord? Makes sense.
