+ <description summary="action binder">
+ This interface is designed to allow any application to bind
+ an action.
+
+ An action is an arbitrary couple of a namespace and a name describing the
+ wanted behaviour. These two strings are not meant to be user-visible.
+ Some namespaces are well-known and shared by applications while each
+ application can have its own namespaces for internal actions.
+ It is possible to have the same action in several namespaces, e.g. to
+ allow application-specific bindings in addition to global actions.
+
+ It is left to the compositor to determine which client will get events.
+ The choice can be based on policy, heuristic, user configuration, or any
+ other mechanism that may be relevant.
+ Here are some examples of dispatching choice: all applications, last
+ focused, user-defined preference order, latest fullscreened application.
+
+ This interface is exposed as global
