Unfortunately TCINST won't map a keystroke to perform multiple actions, as
Gary asked for ("cursor down, controlK,K").  You _can_ redefine the keystrokes
that invoke the built in TC editor commands, but you are stuck with those
commands.

There are a few keyboard macro programs available, but I'm no help, because
I don't know where to find them :-(
