thanks for the discussion.  as far as i'm concerned, if it isn't
emacs, i don't care all that much about it :-).  i want to switch
terminals and still have it work.  people with repetitive motion
disorders, arthritis, missing or thick fingers, only one arm, etc.
would really appreciate the ability to make sticky the ctrl and shift
modifiers.

   Couldn't you just write a wrapper around redisplay that calls your
   arbitrary functions in a hook?

after i posted, i realized that's pretty much possible.

i would really be very pleased if emacs could do my first two
impossible hacks (sticky shifts and improved forward-word), and the
last (ability to negate paren groupings in regexps).

i'm open to comparing research career notes with other cogsci/cogneuro people.
