The main problem with the current setup is that bundles that have  
keybindings *without* a scope are problematic -- they override my key  
bindings and are not easily findable. I don't have as many problems  
with key bindings that are defined within a specific scope because  
they are easy to find and change. I would prefer that either my key  
bindings dict override everything else. Or that you change your  
conventions (in Help 16.4) that any Control+key or Control-Shift+key  
is reserved for text editing or user's choice stuff.

Thanks,
