>CTRL D - Abandon Window (iconify or place in menu)
Isn't the word 'Abandon' inappropriate? You're not discarding the
window's contents.

I think we should avoid making too much of a distinction between left and
right shift. This could get confusing. Using right-shift and arrows,
etc, could be useful for selecting text, but this is something entirely
different.
[to someone else... i'm going to have to keep track of names]
>You're right. How about CTRL+<, CTRL+>, CTRL+SHIFT+< and CTRL+SHIFT+>?
I disagree... Ctrl-< is the same thing as ctrl-, This gets icky. I
think that ctrl-b for beginning and ctrl-e for end of block is ok.
ctrl-m for mark block (one where the other end of the block follows where
the cursor goes like ctrl-^ in PINE) is ok. I could even handle the
ctrl-( and ) from the keypad, but that's a bit far to reach, so I prefer
B and E.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Don't ever use any software that uses Ctrl-A for Select-All
Don't ever use any software that uses Shift-Backspace to delete a line.
Unusual tagline, isn't it?
