Yes! Thank you; this is exactly the kind of thing I was looking for. I have
several global shortcuts defined already, but what I had missed was the
ability to add "conditions" to groups - that was the magic I was missing to
catch the shortcut selectively by application.

Thanks again; this will be *so* useful :p
