0003216: Typing Cmd-k while over the world is frustratingly and confusingly context sensative.

Cmd-k means one thing when the world has the focus and another when TextMorph/Textmorph for edit view has focus. A text morph in an active window gets focus on mouseEnter but does not release it on mouse exit. It is not possible to tell by cursor position whether the world or a recently active textmorph has the focus. The text morph retaining the focus has the benifit that typing will go into the last active paragraph. That is a GOOD thing IMHO. So the problem will have to be solved or not by binding the opening of a workspace to some other gesture. Or something else that does not permanently affect focus. Note that moving over a PLM from a TextMorph will change the focus. And moving from the PLM to the world will nil out the focus. This seems inconsistant with the TextMorph retaining the focus. And I would consider that inconsistency a bug or at least a mal feature. It prevents the user from achieving a useful model of whats going on in their head. What happens all depends on what path the mouse has taken. That's all for now.
