The world morph was initially intended to handle the global system shortcuts, taking advantage of the event bubbling. However, that posed the fact that the global shortcuts have less priority than other shortcuts. The bubbling will activate a global shortcut only if it they key event did not activated a shortcut of its childs first.

So we changed that, and there is another mechanism to install global shortcuts in the system. An example of it is installed in the system: SpotlightShortcuts

BTW, no world binding has yet been initialized yet in Pharo 3.0 (but CMD+K)
Is it intentional?
