We have two proposals on the table:
1. The ae kaymappings we've been using, with ^R, ^W, ^C aliases added:
File read and write SF3,^R SF4,^W Left, down, up, right arrow keys
exit, abort F10,^C SF10 Word left and right F5 F6
Macros SF2 Page down and up PgDn PgUp
Help on and off F1 Front and end of line SF5 SF6
Version, Redraw SF1 F8 Top and bottom of file Home End
Insert typed keys Delete left and right BACKSPACE DEL
Literal escape INS Block, cut, paste F2 F3 F4
Undo F9 Invert case F7
2. The standard ae modeless keymappings from upstream:
File read and write ^R ^W Left, down, up, right arrow keys
Version, quit ^K^V ^C ^K^C Word left and right ^A ^D
Macros ^KM Page down and up ^N ^P
Help on and off F1 Front and end of line ^F ^E
Redraw ^L Top and bottom of file ^T ^B
Insert typed keys Delete left and right BACKSPACE ^X
Literal escape ^V Block, cut, paste F2 F3 F4
Undo ^U Invert case F5
(and, actually, help=F1 would be a problem here)
I don't think there's a problem adding keymappings to support both,
but I can't fit the help info for both on the menus, as shown above.
I'm voting for #1, and that's what I'll do unless convinced or directed
otherwise by, say, tomorrow evening.
