David Mark makes a very good point about the semantic interpretation
of arrows. I just want to add you only need to at an enhanced keyboard
with arrow keys to see this problem. I hate arrow keys. I used to like
them, but the only things standard on a QWERTY keyboard are letters
and numbers, a few basic other characters. Arrows generate different
sequences on different keyboards. Attempts to standarize would best
be thought to conflict with any reader known reference frame.
Pointing is best done by pointing devices.
Another gross generalization from
