Well, if the key bindings only operate once the pop-up appears, that is OK. At 
this point Workrave claims focus in any case, doesn't it? Once the application 
has focus, catching a key binding is arbitrary and could even be user 
configurable. If it is then CTRL-p or ALT-p or SHIFT-ENTER does not make much 
difference.

Frans (Aside from the point, but Claws-mail has beautifully user configurable 
key bindings...)
