Programs that work with modes (Edit-mode view-mode) elicit the same problem:
using a remembered keystroke form another mode could do desastrous things in
another mode.

different keystrokes in *different* applications.
You reckon? In Netscape, it's Alt-p to print the current document.
In Acrobat Reader, it's Ctrl-p to print the current document.
So when Netscape fires up Acrobat Reader to view a document,
which it often does, I *ALWAYS* end up grateful that Alt-p does nothing
in Acrobat, and would be even gratefuller if it did the Right Thing.
Don't get me talking about the different keystrokes required to terminate
X Window System programs, or the things that can go wrong when you use the
wrong one.
