I'm pretty sure we talking about accelerators i.e. Ctrl+O to open a 
file, Ctrl+S to save, etc.  The common theme as I write this is that 
they are all stock items.

The ones that are created in code can be changed with an accelmap, the 
stock ones can't.  Perhaps the AccelGroup is the clue.  Or perhaps Stock 
items are changed using the Binding mechanism?
