What it does

The pull-request restores the change #10704 which was re-introduced after #10600.

The goal of the pull-request is to remove the problematic attachGlobalShortcuts method which caused the application to always interpret ctrl+r as a hard reload of the application despite having either a different context (ex: terminals), or updating keybinding.

The change should now properly use the reload command which uses a proper context, and can be customized by end-users (keymaps.json).

How to test

Same as #10704:

  1. Run the Electron application
  2. Open a bash terminal
  3. Use the ctrl+r shortcut to access 'reverse-i-search'
  4. Put focus on some element other than the terminal.
  5. Use the ctrl+rshortcut to refresh the window - it should refresh
  6. Dirty an editor and use the ctrl+r shortcut - you should be prompted to confirm the refresh
  7. If you'd like, rebind the Refresh Window command to some other keybinding and confirm that it behaves correctly.

The commit restores a fix that would previously remove the problematic
`attachGlobalShortcuts` refactoring. The changes should now properly
reload the application when necessary, and support commands such as
recursive-search in the terminal.

Behavior post #10704 as been restored. Global shortcuts do not interfere with in-app shortcuts. 👍
