Comment (by leavengood):

 I have thought of the concept in this ticket before myself, except for
 more than just text editing. Things like switching applications (currently
 Ctrl-Tab, though I started a discussion to change it to Alt/Cmd-Tab),
 changing workspaces, changing input methods and keymaps, and maybe even
 things like cut and paste could be abstracted out into "actions" which
 could be configurable at the input_server level.

 I think it could be very useful, but things like cut and paste or
 undo/redo which are currently handled inside applications would require a
 lot of code changing to work. And then third-party apps might still have
 their own shortcuts which would not respect what the system setting was.
 There certainly are issues.

 But I think we could certainly start with system level actions, and I may
 take a stab and implementing this for application switching soon. When I
 do that I'll take ownership of this ticket.
