I am about to order the upgrade (which relies on the receipt of Christmas money and tution bills... send your donations to...) You can map most keys to anything (in 1.0) and ANY key to anything (in 2.0). When you define a macro it starts be asking what key(s) to bind it to. You are permitted almost unlimited keys. I've never tried more than 2, I doubt a macro that required 10 keys to bring up would be very useful :-=). I use the Emacs bindings that they supply, though I use some of the Amiga-key shortcuts.

No, in fact it looks like they went through a lot of effort to make sure of this. Quick "here's an error, click here to continue" requesters can be gotten through with the keyboard. An interesting thing that they did is make Left-Amiga act just like Right-Amiga. No more trying to remember if it's Left- or Right-Amiga does which functions. I'm not sure if this is the wave of the future, but I really like it. You're mileage may var....
