That's the reason I though nano-tiny might be usable, but it uses the
"^\" for "replace". "^\" is not possible on a swiss-german keyboard
since "\" is an AltGr key which can't be combined with "^" (control) as
a command.

I currently do most of my editing on my PC-Linux either remotely with
BBedit and the rest with gedit(X) or vim (console). I also tried to
change xemacs to my liking but have given up. The situation currently is
not satisfying, there seems to be no editor which is (IMHO) good on
Linux. I thought at least on PPC there were a better solution.

There seems to be another promising candidate, e3. At least in
nedit-mode it's rather nice and maybe the author might integrate a
Bbedit-mode (or should I say an "Otti"-mode ;-) ). 

To give an idea what I consider good keyboard shortcuts, look a this
uncomplete schema:
Files:
^Q              Quit if nothing changed
^QN             Quit, No save
^QY             Quit and save
^S              Save
^N              New file
^O              Open file
^W              Close file (similar Quit)
^P              Print

Move:
PageUp          Go page up
PageDown        Go page down
^L              Go line

Select:
^A              Select all
^M              Mark beginning
^X              Cut current block
^C              Copy current block
^V              Paste curren block

Delete:
BackSp          Cursor left, delete
Del             Delete

Search:
^F              Find
^G              Find again
^H              Replace (search and replace)

Other:
Insert          Toggle insert/overwrite mode
^Z              Undo
^Y              Redo 
"^" means here Command and not CTRL
