And you can use opengrok to search for it. You cannot search for 
"controls" including the quotation marks, at least I do not know how to 
do it in opengrok.

I agree it is confusing. Do you have a better idea for my case of layer 
names?

Those from unokywds.hxx have the advantage, that the purpose is in the 
identifier. So you can distinguish between "Background" as property for 
filling, "background" as layer name and "background" as style sheet 
name, for example.

Kind regards
