Add keyboard shortcuts to the (revamped) Greeter

While I find the revamped Greeter absolutely awesome, I find it more cumbersome since keyboard navigation is more complex.

Main window:

  • Alt+L: Language
  • Alt+K: Keyboard layout
  • Alt+F: Formats
  • Alt+P: Persistence
  • Alt+R: Read-only persistence
  • Alt-A: Additional Settings window
  • Ctrl+Enter and/or Alt+S: Start Tails

For “Additional Settings” we could have a shortcut each (which opens that option’s window):

  • Ctrl+Shift+A: Administrator password
  • Ctrl+Shift+M: MAC spoofing
  • Ctrl+Shift+N: Network settings
