This sounds like a pretty featureful editor, but can anyone give me an idea
of how emacs-like you make the keybindings?  (I'm sick of the limitations of
mg)

In particular:

  1) can you bind key-sequences (^X-^V e.g.) in addition to single keys
  2) does it it have a cut-buffer
  3) if so, can cut/paste work on character (not line) boundaries
  4) are the commands available for binding low-level?  (Like I had a lot of
     problems with the turbo editor, as they had a single search command
     which gave the user 10 million prompts for the type of search, etc.
     This doesn't work too well with the emacs bindings...)
  5) Is using the mouse ever required (I don't care if it is by default, just
     as long as I can get around it by changing the bindings or whatever)?

Thanks, -Miles
