- I couldn't find anything in the user manual or online help concerning
- rebinding commands. Is it really true with all the sophistication this
- program possesses that they released it without the capability to customize
- the keyboard shortcuts? Doesn't Microshit's Word at least have this
- feature?
-
- My biggest problem is that the half dozen or so common Emacs bindings must
- be the same in my document system, or I constantly invoke funny commands
- instead of convenient commands like "forward word", "delete word backwards",
- "backward word", etc. Yeah, the line motion commands work fine as do
- character motion and character deletion, but word operations keep costing me
- cognitive overhead at the implementation level (that is, from my brain to my
- finger tips).

- P.S.,
- Apologies if I stupidly failed to find this in the manual. I just
- can't believe keyboard customization is missing.
