I don't see how to use Quickeys to get a SEQUENCE of
(possibly modified) keystrokes to stand for a command, e.g.
<escape> followed by f to stand for the command "move
forward one word." Is there a way to use Quickeys or some
other system to bind a key like <escape> to a complex
conditional command: "Press a key, if it is "f" then go
forward a word, if it is "b" then go back a word, ..."?
