- Mainly because the application has to have enough space in each menu
- to hold the largest keyboard shortcut possible. So, if you allow the
- "BKSP" key in a shortcut, you need to have enough room for "S^BKSP"
- (not including the ALT character, since someone said control and ALT
- are not supposed to appear in the same shortcut since that combination
- is for the operating system only). See what I mean? Six characters
- is not so bad, but some keys have longer names ("space", "return",
- "ClrHome", "Insert"). That was my main concern; if this is not a problem
- for anyone else just tell me and I'll not mention it again...
