But if you look up a term in a corpus such as Google's, you will want to have a look at the distribution of its alternate, near-synonymous variants.Looking at NEAR-synonymous variants is not useful. It is confusing to use a term that does not quite mean what you intend it to. For example, the only term with significantly more Google matches than "key bindings" is "keyboard shortcuts", which, in other applications, refers specifically to key bindings that can be used to invoke menu commands.
