- A better idea has been put forward; instead of changing the resource of
- each program, just have one (global) data file in the system directory
- that controls keyboard shortcuts. The data file would consis of a code
- identifying the type of action the shortcut on that line is for, the
- shortcut, and a comment (language non-specific) that would identify
- for the user what that code is for. It would be expandable, too.
