Or, change keyboard layout to Dvorak. ;) This way, W and R are on the
opposite side of the keyboard from E. Adjusting to that will only take a
couple of weeks longer than switching to Emacs bindings from CUA. It also
hasn't made me any less clumsy, but now my mistakes are less painful since my
fingers don't have to move as much. :)

I do like your suggestion about changing bindings, though. What I'd probably
do in that case is just disable keyboard shortcuts for "Close file" and
"Revert", figuring if I needed them I could use the menus.
