Quickeys on LSD work fine for me (no pun intended :-).  One possibility is
that you have a corrupted QuicKeys file.  When that happens, strange things
will happen.  For example, at one time I couldn't save any defintions for
StuffIt but could to all other programs.  The solution is simple, but painful.
Save all your defintions with Quick Access, install a new copy of QuicKeys
from your master disk and restore your definitions.  This appears to fix
most random problems of the sort you describe.

BTW, I aggree with your other comments.  4.0 should be as significant as
3.0 if they implement even half of what they are talking about.  Things
that have been mentioned as possible include C+-, a subset of C++ sufficent
to implement MacApp and a programable editor, either by macros (written in C
and compiled!) or by allowing third parties to replace the editor with
their own.  But don't hold your breath, remember how long it took to get
from 2.0 to 3.0.
