[Texmacs-dev] Keybindings(2)

The logical/physical markup confusion was a silly mistake of mine. I see
now the rationale, but I'd prefer the logical markup access keys to be
more accesible than the physical ones. I think all logical markup should
be fit into A-* keys, like the sectioning commands. Anyway, F5/F6 are
really far from my fingers for everyday use.

Regarding the math issue: I would like to have keybindings for
\equation, \equation*, \eqnarray* and the forthcoming \eqnarray*. 


Perhaps this could be done by establishing one cycle key. This cycle key
would cycle amongst table types and figure types as well. It's a "kind
cycle key". Others could be thought of, for example the "style cycle
key" for cycling amongst numbering schemes for enumerations, bullet
characters for bulleted lists, citation styles and more (perhaps
numbered/unnumbered equations would fit here). And there should be a
"hierarchical cycle key" to cycle between depth levels in section
titles, depth levels in enumerations, etc. etc. The point is to keep
cycles short, at most with 4/5 possible states, else back/forth cycle
keys would be necessary (or returning to the original state would be
slow). This is why I suggest to search for orthogonal cycles
(kind/style/depth, for example). 

Anyway, these are my dreams and I understand this poses a big problem
for the typesetter, because heavy reprocessing would be needed to show
the results while cycling. 

It would be nice to have TeXmacs typeset it's own keybindigns with some macros
and thus form a "reference card". I don't know how to do this.

I'm still discovering the new keybinding set, so give me some time...

have fun,
