 07fccef41c Add Super + Q as a second chord for closing a window (#7767) 
* Add Super + Q as a second chord for closing a window

Super + W stays the documented default. Super + Q is the chord people
arrive with from macOS, where Command + Q quits the app, and typing it
into Omarchy did nothing at all until now.

* Put an action's alternative chord on one keybindings row

Super + W and Super + Q both read "Close window" in the menu, two rows
apart, with nothing to say they were the same thing -- and the
alternative sorted above the default. The scratchpad and the calculator
had the same trouble, each bound to a chord and to a second key.

Four actions are named as having an alternative, one at a time, and the
second chord joins the first one's row. A rule would be wrong here: Alt +
Tab and Shift + Alt + Tab both say "Reveal active window on top" while
cycling opposite ways, and a media key is nobody's idea of an alternative
to a Super chord. Both halves still have to agree on what they dispatch,
since a label is only what a chord is called, and an unresolved
dispatcher never counts as agreement.

Nothing is allowed past the 35-character column: a pair that would
overrun it stays as two rows rather than pushing its arrow out of line.
The menu elides a row that outgrows its card -- 754px of label, 78
monospace characters at the heading size -- and the longest entry already
sits at 74, so widening the column to fit the widest pair would have cost
two dozen rows the end of their description.

Priority ordering reads the rendered row, so the chord sharing it would
otherwise reclassify the entry: XF86Calculator alone belongs in the tail
kept for media keys, and it took the calculator down there with it.
Ranking now reads the chord that leads the row.

The key left of 1 reads as ~ rather than Hyprland's name for it, whether
a bind names it or reports the keycode for the keymap to resolve. Cached
records predate all of this, so the cache version moves with it.
