Keeping things simple sounds good. Having grouped two-key keystrokes also sounds good. If things get overly complex, the built-in menu mnemonics using Alt+UnderlinedCharacter also make sense, instead of grouped two-key keystrokes.
Hmm... I don't know which of the suggested versions I will like most, so I agree, two default keymaps are the way to go. One for the current default keymap, and one for the emacs style keymap. Since two default keymaps are a little odd, maybe do away with the default keymap altogether and save all key mappings in every keymap, like Dan suggested earlier. -Thomas > -----Original Message----- > From: Bluntpeak [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Friday, October 05, 2001 8:27 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [Eap-list] Keyboard usage > > > Hi, > > It seems to me that the ideal solution is to have the > capability of an > emacs style key binding, but supply two default keymaps.
