[PD] Creating a GUI object on Pd 0.48.1 with keyboard shortcut create two objects on MacOSX

[Dan Wilcox]

This looks like another bug with Tk on macOS.

The menu item's key binding should never actually be triggered itself but it's somehow happening with the French keyboard mapping and this interferes with the bind all shortcuts. I was able to stop this from happening when removing the "Shift" menu accelerator, but then the menu item displays the wrong short cut keys with the Shift icon.

 Looks like another reason to dive into the Tk code itself as we need to fix the issues with [key] as well.
