On the subject of key definitions:

One I find incredibly useful is the following:

#copy name pointed to to input pad from transcript pad
kd m2 /[~a-zA-Z!-._:$0-9@@/@@\@@-@@(@@)~`%^*_+=!]/dr;
      \\;/?/xc file_name;
       ti;tb;tr ke
kd m2u xp file_name;tr;es ' ';gm ke

Typical use: suppose I want to remove a bunch of files.  I say 'ls' to
get a listing, then type 'rm ' and grab the mouse and click on the all
the names of files that I want deleted.  Pressing NEXT WNDW and RETURN
completes the process.

If you hold M2 down instead of clicking you can copy the file name
whereever you want.
