Previously, it was not always the edited footprint, but a footprint
selected from the library tree.
It was especially annoying when the footprint was loaded from the board editor:
The footprint was not the loaded footprint, but its copy from library.
(They should only be used when we collect more info before performing
the command. If the command is something like showing the simulator,
then there should be no elipsis as we don't collect more info before
showing the window.)
Also improves a few of the menu tooltips.
Make keyboard activation of OK save settings instead of cancelling.
Also, fix the string for the shortcut so that it works (shortcut
unchanged).

dropping files to Kicad manager :
*.kicad_pro, *.pro -> open project;
gerber and job files -> open in Gerbview editor;
Eagle and Cadstar files -> open project.
dropping file to schematic editor -> append schematic;
dropping library file to Symbol editor -> add library;
dropping board file to PCB editor -> append board;
dropping library or footprint file to Footprint editor -> add library or import footprint;
dropping ZIP file or gerber files to Gerbview editor -> open files;
dropping sheet file to Drawing Sheet editor -> open sheet.

3x Selection-Based Routing Tools. Takes a selection of routable objects
and routes them one at a time individually, with an attempted finish, or
from the other end, depending on the action given.
No longer used by modern PCB processes.
Only the code to add the target to the board has been removed. Parsing
code for existing designs with targets is left in place.

This is for the out-of-box experience for novice users. It is presumed
that folks with larger more complicated boards will turn it off.

It is too easy to accidentally hide your zones and the 'A' hotkey is
intuitively mapped to Add Footprint, to match Add Symbol in eeschema.
This won't change current hotkey customizations but will help prevent
future user error. Users can still map the action to a hotkey if the
new toggle is useful to their workflow
