Doesn't ctl-a do a "select all"? I just found this out from trying it (nice
to know, as I do this often).
What are the "matching shift- combo" strokes?

In Ledit, you have to do /TC to set the center. But since in the Edit/Turn
menu, set center has the "S" underlined, I figured alt-s would be consistent
(while alt-c would be more similar to Ledit, either one would be great).

That may be what's happening. Is there an option in the editor to not write
the file automatically? Currently, what actions trigger the write? Clicking
on another line seems to always do so, but sometimes clicking on the same line
does, and sometimes it doesn't.
