It will be more consistent and usable to use some special key to 
highlight hotkey like '&' in the menus:

ENTRY "&home" URL "/home/me"

However, if this happens, the list hotkeys just get the priority and nothing bad happens. For example, I have used "c" as a hotkey in the list, so now I cannot press "c" to activate the "Cancel" button - but I don't need it anyway, so it's not a problem (and when I need it, I can go to it using Tab).
