Is there any way to change the keyboard in Edit to do a few more things and to do some of the things that it does do differently? Specifically: 1. It would be useful to me to have access to some additional keyboard editing commands, ones allowing more flexible cursor movement, scrolling, marking blocks of text, and the like (over and above the 15 or so Emacs-style keyboard commands that Edit provides). 2. I would also find it useful to remap some of those commands that Edit already does provide, e.g., changing Control-B (move back one character) to Alternate-S or the like (you can swap simple key assignments using the Keyboard application in Demos, but the switches I need are a little more complicated; I can also get a few of the things I want using the Keyboard Alternatives set up in Preferences and a few more with templates in Edit. But again, these only gets some of what I want). Has anyone written anything that would let me do some of these things in Edit (e.g., something with the ability to define keys the way you can in Communicae, or with the ability to set up your own keyboard, with quite complex commands attached to various keys, as you can in XyWrite)?
