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

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 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.

onShortcut:do: looks good to me.
