- I think redefining C/A/D *was* a mistake (in DV). They could have used some
- other keystroke combination. The problem is that some apps do their own
- C/A/D processing (at this moment, I know of only one, Carbon Copy) and
- this conflicts with DV when the app is run under DV. Note, BTW, that
- you can redefine the "Reboot Window" keycombo, using DV's setup, but
- it doesn't solve the problem, because DV still traps the C/A/D combo,
- shielding apps running under DV windows from seeing it.
