Well, the idea behind this is * Commands that you run regularly should be 1 single key. (No shift, ...) * Other commands should be several key (just because you have a finite number of key on your keyboard !). There's a big difference between one key and several keys, but a smaller between two keys and two keys + shift on the first key. Using shifted keys for prefix keys leave the whole keyboard (without shift) for single keys commands. It's not the perfect solution, but I think it's good. One other thought: We're forgetting the control and meta keys that could also be usefull in xtla modes. -- Matthieu
