Take a look at this webpage:

The fact that the quick search utility takes away so many potential
simpler keybings is a pet peeve of mine and has been brought up on prior
occasions. We're assured that the key bindings will be fully customisable
in version 2.

This is courtesy of the free caret interface that TB! has. I prefer this
personally but I think, though I'm not sure, version 2 will have editor
enhancements that should add this flexibility, including using an external
editor. :-)

Is that WinRAR to which you're referring? I have it installed in Win2k and
it works just fine. :-)
