Let's be clear: there are two completely separate issues here.

1. Allowing plain-key key bindings in Leo.  This is going to happen for a
very simple reason: it will be incredibly useful to me :-)

2. Creating better integration between Leo and vim/gVim. This is also going
to happen because some people who use both Leo and vim want it to happen,
and because it sounds like a great idea to me.

So let's not argue about whether 1 or 2 is more important :-)  Let's just
get on with it.

Very interesting.  This may be useful in doing 2.
