Wait, try to explain it my way ;) (as I don'T really know what your stuff 
means, too ;)

(starting with no active views)

1. we create a view A (A will be added to the guifactory)
-> working shortcuts for B

2. we create a second view B (B added to guifactory, A removed from 
guifactory)
-> working shortcuts for B

3. we change from view B to view A (A added to guifactory, B removed from 
guifactory)
-> bindings of B will still be used by the shortcuts, error, if you hit for 
example CTRL-X the stuff will be cut from view B !

4. we create a new view C  (C added to guifactory, A removed from guifactory)
-> working shortcuts for C

5. we change from view C to any other view (other view added to guifactory, C 
removed from guifactory)
-> bindings of C will still be used by the shortcuts, error, if you hit for 
example CTRL-X the stuff will be cut from view C !


Code which does that on viewChange (if you create a view that is counted as 
viewchange too, as the newly created view will become active):

// was there allready a activeView
if (activeView)
  guiFactory()->removeClient (activeView);
 
// set new active View 
activeView = view;
    
// add the new view to the factory
if (activeView)
 guiFactory ()->addClient( activeView );


Is that a better example ?
