Key Command Groups and Hierarchies
The global key commands are always functional, regardless of the currently active
window. Non-global commands require the corresponding window to have key focus
(in the foreground, or on top of other windows). This allows you to assign the same key
command (or combination of keys) to different functions in different windows.
