 As for question 2 here is the information taken from the CygEd Pro Manual:
---
"CED will use any keymap set using the standard SETMAP function. So if you
 prefer using a Dvorak or german style keyboard - no problem

 The CLI command:
 1> SETMAP USA1
 will set your keyboard to Dvorak. Remember that the SETMAP command must
 be done BEFORE CygnusEd Progessional is run."

 IMHO CygEd Pro is to editors as Corvette is to Chevette. It has an AREXX
 interface and almost all keys are redefinable using the macros. It is 
 *VERY* >>>>Fast... ie searches through my GEnie listing ~>= 400K of text 
 in less than ~5 secs. Scrolling is superfast with either the mouse or the
 cursor keys. Speed, features and Very Amigatized. And its supported 
 "informally" here on usenet and "formally" on BIX and Compuserve.
