key binding buggy?

Well, I only know they are confusing.  It isn't just about an order of
precedence as you seem to assume.  Please, notice that X translations
and accelerator shortcuts are two different binding mechanisms.  You
can see the difference already by noting that shortcuts can be changed
on the fly, while X translations cannot.  Moreover, shortcuts defined
for the editing area are also executed when the incremental search bar
is in focus, whereas X translations are valid there, too.  (Shortcuts
are Motif stuff, X translations X stuff.)

Adding to the confusion is the fact that the built-in menu accelerator
shortcuts are implemented in a way the user can redefine them
(including the menu description) in the X resource file, but not as X
translation, ie, nedit*text.Translations: #override, but as
nedit*[file/edit/...].Menu.[...].accelerator[Text]
