[Bug]: Get Variables shortcut does not open variable selection dialog #8261

Description

@dsanderbi

Apache Hop version?

2.19.0

Java version?

21

Operating system

macOS

What happened?

In Apache Hop 2.19.0 on macOS, the keyboard shortcut for opening the variable selection/autocomplete list in the Get Variables transform does not work.

Acc. to the documentation, macOS should use Cmd + Space. However, this shortcut is intercepted by macOS and opens Spotlight instead, see docs

Alternatively, using Control + Space as the macOS shortcut could also be an option.

As a longer-term improvement, it might also be worth considering allowing users to customize keyboard shortcuts themselves, similar to VS Code. This could help avoid OS-level shortcut conflicts and make the application more flexible across different platforms.
