Description

The keyboard shortcuts should be separated in some config file because the current ones' may interfere with the user bindings. Also, in this case we also need to handle the rendering of the shortcuts from the config file.

Research direction
Review the current keyboard shortcut implementation in ptop (likely in a main Python file). Propose a config file format (e.g., JSON or YAML) for storing shortcuts. Implement a config loader that reads shortcuts from the config file and merges with defaults. Update the rendering code to display shortcuts from the config. Check if there are any existing config files or patterns in the repository.
