  <interface name="zwp_action_binder_v1" version="1">
    <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 object is a singleton global.

      This interface represents a binding to a set of actions.

      Depending on the user configuration, an action can be either one-off or
      sustained. The client must handle all the three events and either make
      sense of them or ignore them properly.
