IMAO the sooner mdhughes loses interest the better. Trying to explain anything to him is a waste of time, because he is completely closed-minded.

I'm mostly in your camp on this one.

he's mainly complaining about inconsistent key bindings -- issue #58, which we've made no progress on in 2024.
It would be great to find someone to make up a table of key bindings that we could implement as an optional alternative to what we have now. I don't think implementing the changes is the bottleneck, it's coming up with a feasible plan.

... and emacs is not the same as vi is not the same as teco -- I wouldn't call the key bindings "inconsistent", just different.

What we have now is confusing to new users, and the cause of many complaints. I think it is possible to make some global key assignments easier to set up, if we have a clear target.
The differences between SEdit, TEdit, TTYIN are problematic with or without consistency with the key bindings of the user's choice.
