Investigate responsiveness of BINDINGS

I'm not sure how BINDINGS work. I thought they were contextual based on the Widget with the current focus (or its nearest parent with BINDINGS) but that doesn't appear to be the case.

Bindings on a widget will only be available when focus is within a widget, that's correct. Although you do also need to keep in mind that any bindings on the app or on a screen will also be in play too.

Do yell with an example if you're finding that's not the case.

I haven't seen the docs that say they are cumulative, although I had kind of worked that out. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I'll need to rethink them, so the UI isn't swamped with options.

If it helps: an approach I'm starting to take with any non-trivial application like this is to show=False almost all bindings, and then only show the most important ones. One such important one being F1 to show all the help and keys.

At some point I'm minded to try and create a HelpScreen screen that will dumpster-dive the bindings and auto-generate something.
