The key name is limited to 32 characters, I think we could reach this 
limit quite easily. Then I think there are already enough keys in 
org.gnome.anjuta to get an improvements by splitting them in sub 
directories. But I'm agree that there is only a small benefit here.

I don't want to change anything in the .ui file. I would like to provide 
an additional description for these keys too. If it's planned to store 
them in the GtkBuilder file too, indeed I think it's better to wait.

Yes, I know. But the goal is not to check for errors but to find the 
corresponding description for each key.

Yes that's my idea.

Ok
