Hello. Keymappings is very nice approach to subscribe on concrete system state instread of working with primitive event instances. And it can be generalized to support other events (not only key combinations). In this case subscribing API should not be related to key combinations 2013/6/19 Benjamin <benjamin.vanryseghem.pharo@gmail.com>
Why not something like
bindKeyCombination:toAction:
?

I prefer the onKeyCombination* because of the following rationale:
- to me a shortcut is the association between a key combination and an action - a key combination is a combination of keys :), which is associated with an action
Stef, so far I changed the asShortcut => asKeyCombination, following the same idea :).

The problem with onkeypress, onkeydown, onkeyup is that they are low-level events compared to the shortcuts we are talking about.
A shortcut is at least one key, but is usually a key + a modifier or a sequence of key + modifiers (such as the emacs ^X ^C ($x ctrl, $c ctrl). The Keymapping stuff sits a lot higher than the basic keypress events (which do exist as well) and can recognize multi-keys combinations. If you call that onKeyPress:do:, then you loose in the name part of the power of it.
Hence the onKeyCombination:do: (but I prefer onShortcut:do:)
onShortcut:do: looks good to me.

On Javascript, there are :
onkeypress onkeydown onkeyup
I think we should have same API than other languages, especially popular ones. So 1 of these 3 would be the best for me.
Why not onKeyPress:do: ?
+1 to each of the last two statements.
