What he is talking about is that those coming to linux from the windows world, who know the windows default keystrokes, would like a text editor that they could just use without having to figure out new keystrokes. I too like pico, but wish it could be seperated from pine. It would be nice to have the option of using windows keystrokes in most editors. That way those from the unix world could have their familiar strokes and those from the windows world could also have theirs. I wonder if it would be crazy to try and have mandrake create a unified key bindings for all programs and window managers. Then you could set up several pre made templates and the ability to customize, but just once!
