AFAICT he's been trying to reconfigure acme's key bindings but acme
refused to start up apparently because there was an instance of acme still
left running.
Not knowing acme, it's hard to be of more help. Do other apps register
with acme to claim certain key bindings? Maybe that's why acme wouldn't
quit??
