Many of the Alt-key bindings do work, for sure. But if I have, for
instance, in myLeoSettings.leo:
@settings
@keys
@shortcuts
save-file = Alt-w
(so that this is listed with print-bindings)
then the Alt-W keystroke combination brings up the Window menu (Arrange
Panes // Equal Sized panes...) at the top of the window frame, instead of
what I want.
So AFAICT Alt-F (File), Alt-E (Search), Alt-O (Outline), Alt-C (Cmds),
Alt-W (Window) and Alt-H (Help) are not usefully available. I hope that
clarifies a bit.
