One way to do it would be to do the following:

      <key
            sequence="M1+N"
            schemeId="org.eclipse.ui.defaultAcceleratorConfiguration" />
      <key
            commandId="org.eclipse.ui.newWizard"
            sequence="YOUR BINDING"
            schemeId="org.eclipse.ui.defaultAcceleratorConfiguration" />

Another would be to define a new scheme as described in:

yes.

yes.  but in a less deprecated way, org.eclipse.ui.bindings/scheme@id

yes, but again, org.eclipse.ui.bindings/scheme.  Though the property in the
ini file remains the same "org.eclipse.ui/KEY_CONFIGURATION_ID".
