<sigh> Do you think there is any hope that they will implement this in
E17????

I have to admit that most of them at least only fall into the category
of minor annoyance...
The biggest exception in e16 is bypassed because, at least with:
"KeyDown CA Delete exit logout" the single choice confirmation
pop-up accepts <Ctrl>+<enter>
{Which is especially important to me when the reason
I've decided to logout and shutdown is because I've
already over used the mouse and my hands need a
serious break... And or when I realize I've been up
so long that my face keeps bouncing of the keyboard
every couple of minutes and I can no longer see well
enough to point at the yes log out button...}
I note however that the logout confirmation pop-up in E17 does not
accept <ctrl>+<enter> Sigh! So I'm hoping that at some point before I
can't get e16 anymore they have implemented keyboard methods for
E17...

Thank you! That's an interesting topic.
Since I'm one who likes to edit my ~/.e16/bindings.cfg by hand it
doesn't hurt much that "eesh help full" says:
----------------------------------------
set_keybindings : Set keybindings (deprecated)
----------------------------------------
At least not with e16. But if e17 has eesh then I'm saddened by this
as it means I will be stuck with that annoying gui. (since as far as I
can see they moved away from using human editable .cfg files...)
On the other hand:
----------------------------------------
get_keybindings : List keybindings (deprecated)
----------------------------------------
doesn't bother me at all because: IF e17 has eesh then these
aren't depreciated yet:
aclass kb List key bindings
aclass list [name/all] List action class[es]
aclass load [name] Reload action classes (default is bindings.cfg)
Unfortunately the "aclass load [name]" wouldn't help much if I can't
manually edit whatever e17 is using for a "bindings.cfg" (which cfg file I
can't locate on e17...)
Speaking of which. I just booted my laptop into e17 and it has
something that answers to "eesh --help" with a short list
of options -e, -ewait, and "" interactive. All of which just sit there
waiting for eesh to do something... So I think it just might currently
be broken. <sigh> I hates "gui setup tools" more than Yosemite Sam ever
hated "rabbits" And like Bugs, to me they are "real stinkers"...
