My next problem is the bold font toggling in math mode. ctrl-B generates a
default \mathsymbol{} command which is wrong wrong wrong!  A bold math
character should almost always be non-italicized. The one exception may be Greek characters, but only because Latex has issues with that anyway. The reason is that a bold letter represents a vector or matrix, which should never be in italic font. Instead the old behavior of using \mathbf{} is
probably the correct one.

One other thing: it isn't clear to me if the default should be \mathbf{} or \boldsymbol{}, since either one may be appropriate depending on the context. You can bind either to ctrl-b.
