No idea. Legacy. Probably should be removed.

Yes they are. But they still are if we expose the shortcut and nobody knows 
about it.

If I'm totally honest I would love to kill most functionality of klipper. 
Because it's unmaintained and as you say hidden functionality. I don't know why 
there are things like the "Invoke action". Also the menu is something I'm not 
totally happy with as it requires a completely differnt code path. If I'm 
totally honest I don't want these features to be exposed to more users as I 
don't think they are in a good shape and we don't have developers working on 
klipper (haven't had for years, I only took over maintainership because it 
needs significant adjustment for Wayland).
