P.S. I figured out how to change the key bindings through the GUI menu
(for anyone as dense as me, you just select the command you want from
the options, click 'modify', and then hit the key combo you want to be
associated with the command. Then hit 'apply'. It even allows you to
override existing key bindings.) Still wondering, though, why the
mac.bind definitions are not working when called from a custom
bindings file.
