Keyboard shortcuts and applets

[Emdek]

Hello

And finally something about shortcuts. ;-)

First one question, for what was it designed at beginning? For focusing applet?
If yes, I think that that there should be added information in configuration, for what is that shortcut intended.
Or maybe separate it from rest of applet configuration (maybe additional entry in applet context menu, to set focus shortcut).

Additionally there is problem which I've mentioned earlier:

I'm not sure if these shortcuts should be used to preform action, some applets doesn't provide actions that could be triggered or have more than one action that could be handy if possible to access it using (global) shortcut (maybe we need more flexible mechanism to add actions and GUI for configuring them).

This is only idea, I'm not sure if this is proper way to improve current situation. ;-)
