Description of the problem or steps to reproduce

The status bar reads (by default): "Alt-g: bindings, CtrlG: help". This does not look good and there are many more such inconsistencies in Micro. I have see at least four different formats in the frontend and documentation:

  • Ctrl-g
  • Ctrl-G
  • CtrlG
  • Ctrl+G

The one most familiar from GUI applications is the last one (Ctrl+G, Ctrl+Shift+G etc.), but no matter which format is the "best", Micro should use the same format for key binding labels everywhere.

The old notation (for example `CtrlG`) causes confusion when combined
with new notation needed for alt (`Alt-g`) due to Alt being case
sensitive. Previously both formats were supported, but the documentation
and defaults used a combination. This commit only uses the new notation
for consistency.
