That was never written to (except by KeyActionCB that _that_ was never
invoked ever, and did not make sense). Note that, had it worked as it
probably was intended, this "accounting" data should have been kept
inside the hotkeys plugin, not the libvlc instance data anyhow.

So for, each hotkey callback had to lookup the hotkey table everytime
a key was pressed, which is fairly wasteful.
