Well, it's low-level grab and may conflict with Gtk+/Qt/etc. event
handlers and also the application should make own event handler to work
with this. So it's not solution for application using some toolkit.

I never proposed this to be process. I proposed it to be very small
library which implements access to files, parsing and update, one time
operation. If you change keybinding with some editor it will alert you it
will be applied only on application new start, not on running one. Just
so simple. We also can discuss some method of signaling if we want the
applications refresh own maps in runtime but I highly doubt it should be
done as it will require recreate of many of application's widgets and
that is much resource consuming so better just restart the application.

The trick is you cannot map the shortcut into lxde if it's already
mapped by Openbox since Openbox's binding will be activated once you try
to press the combination in the editor. :)
And, please, don't do topposting! I understand, you like to see own
text but let others see the text you're replying too. Thanks!
