Most readers of this list probably already have their keybindings in
muscle memory, but for new users and posterity I'm attaching a set of
keybindings which deviates greatly from the defaults but I find much more
intuitive.
There's one last thing I want to do, which is emulate windows' "Tab"
functionality. Basically when you hit tab you move backwards through a
stack of last-visited frames -- when you stop on a frame it moves to the
top of the stack. If anyone else is interested I'll post the code here
when it's done.
