0001896: Custom workshops get assigned (a) key by default
In a custom building, if you do not specify a build key with the [BUILD_KEY:] tag, or specify NONE, then it gets assigned the 'a' key. All of them.
Make a custom building. Do not include a [BUILD_KEY:] tag, or specify [BUILD_KEY:NONE]. Voila.
I see no reason why every workshop build should have a hotkey, as some can be rarely used and that hotkey only clutters the interface. Even if there were, the program should bark at us when not specified, and/or assign each a unique hotkey that doesn't collide with other workshops.

Probably fixed?

I made few copies of SCREW_PRESS and changed BUILD_KEY in each:

    [BUILD_KEY:CUSTOM_SHIFT_B] works as expected ("B")
    [BUILD_KEY:NONE] these three also work as expected (no key)
    [BUILD_KEY:]
    BUILD_KEY:
