Why do you disable the save action in the first place? Saving every now and
then is doing no harm. Or is disabling the save action meant to stop the 
user
from doing something potentially evil?

Another thought. If a (any) shortcut is no longer eaten up by an action
and passed to scintilla one might get unexpected results every now and then.
Why not install an event filter to eat up those shortcuts?
