CallbackShortcuts class Null safety

A widget that provides an uncomplicated mechanism for binding a key combination to a specific callback.

This is similar to the functionality provided by the Shortcuts widget, but instead of requiring a mapping to an Intent, and an Actions widget somewhere in the widget tree to bind the Intent to, it just takes a set of bindings that bind the key combination directly to a VoidCallback.

Because it is a simpler mechanism, it doesn't provide the ability to disable the callbacks, or to separate the definition of the shortcuts from the definition of the code that is triggered by them (the role that actions play in the Shortcuts/Actions system).

However, for some applications the complexity and flexibility of the Shortcuts and Actions mechanism is overkill, and this widget is here for those apps.

Shortcuts and CallbackShortcuts can both be used in the same app. As with any key handling widget, if this widget handles a key event then widgets above it in the focus chain will not receive the event. This means that if this widget handles a key, then an ancestor Shortcuts widget (or any other key handling widget) will not receive that key, and similarly, if a descendant of this widget handles the key, then the key event will not reach this widget for handling.
