  9. Although I like the idea, there are several problems with using this:
  10.  
  11. 1. How to annotate special keys like Alt, Control, Delete, Help so that
  12. they are language independent.
  13.  
  14. 2. More importantly, what if a user defined key conflicts with your app.
  15. Say the user decides that Select All should be CTRL+L, but your app
  16. already uses CTRL+L for something else.
