Well, the current LEdit key commands I still use consist of the arrow keys, page
up, page down, home, end, I, and A.  The ones beginning with the / are for
accessing menus (Windows uses ALT to access the menus at the top).  I, for one,

just fine.  Nothing against someone developing a different standard, but I
always want the LEdit key commands to be there.
