Just offering a personal opinion - supporting those other key combinations is desired and would be used by me.

Thanks.

Hi Elias,

what concerns me a bit is is that someone might prefer control- instead of alt- in order to get APL characters.
IBM APL2 has a few keyboard layouts doing that. I will add at least ^F and ^B because there exist cursor keys
(and related functions) for that. But I am not at all sure about ^K and ^Y.

C-f is forward. Move cursor to the right. C-b is backward, the opposite. C-k deletes everything from the cursor to the end of the line and copies the deleted text to a cut buffer. C-y pastes the content of the cut buffer to the position of the cursor.

If you really want to be fancy, you can add the following too:

C-space, set the position of the mark. C-w delete everything between the cursor and the mark (and copy it to the cut buffer).

Hi Elias,

I have added ^A, ^E, ^P, and ^N assuming they mean cursor home/end/up/down, SVN 472.

Not sure what ^F,^B,^K or ^Y are doing? I believe we should not become too emacs-ish?

With the new history control, none of the control-character shortcuts don't work anymore, including C-p, C-n, C-f, C-b, C-a, C-e, C-k and C-y.

Could this be added? I suppose it's a simple matter of adding mappings to existing functions.

Elias
