Okey... so err, say I want a key-press for displaying an options widget.
And the button that coincides with my keypress is only visible when the
options widget is visible... Where's this fall under?

If I use an accelerator, (Alt-O) attached to the button will this work
whenever I press the accelerator when my app has focus?
