Let me add Key commands for editing to the list of improvements that would
make LSC easier.  This could come in any form, even weird option-key
sequences like MS Word.  Just as long as I don't have to reach for a mouse
or inadiquate cursor keys.

I'm leftover form the unix 'C' programmer error where we did all programming
with text editors like VI or EMACS.  Although I love graphical editors that
use the mouse, I feel like they hamper my ability to quickly edit and modify
programs efficiently (it can't be efficient to reach over for a mouse to
back up the cursor one line of code).

I think that we all must admit to having backspaced a word or two so that
we could correct a typo earlier in the line of code.  I would much rather
press a option-shift-<insert your favorite key> to move to the beginning of
the line or word, make the correction, and then press a option-shift-
<insert your second favorite key> to jump back to the end of the line for
further editing.

What do you say?  Am I outnumbered by the masses?
