the extra space for 'Fn' shortcut keys is probably meant to get the F-keys at the top in the sorted list (it's in ij.plugin.CommandLister.java, line 57). When doing a hack like the one we are discussing here, one may easily run into such problems; that's why I thought the other method with macro sets would be nicer...
For adding a shortcut, you have to run("Refresh Menus") after deleting the old one and *before* adding the new one.
And you might want a run("Close") after list = getInfo("window.contents"); otherwise the 'Keyboard Shortcuts' window will stay on the screen forever.
