If systemwide keyboard shortcuts were only for
window management I might agree.
Tracker and your desktop gives the impression of
being the solid foundation of Haiku. It's just
illusion, but a good illusion.
How could it not be seen as "system", or part of it.
But maybe you're right. If I see application-
specific shortcut sets as contextual rather than
application-specific it harmonizes with my view
of Tracker.
(Came to think of it, maybe Cut/Copy/Paste are
exceptions to a clean-cut system/application
shortcut division. Or they could be seen as a
convention that just happens to exist in all
applications.)
