as for the aesthetics;
cursor keys dont move edit-cursor for me, they give DBCA for
left,down,right,up
keybindings are interesting:
^A,^E is familiar to emacs users,
but ^N, ^P are suprising substitutes for ^B, ^F
(Oddly though, I tried N,P 1st - but I cant recall if thats somehow
customary)
No redraw if I widen or narrow the window
(forex when bootline is shown, and no countdown urging me to hit return)
Not that I want it or will ever miss it.
no timeout once hotkey + tab is pressed. seems appropriate,
and an unlikely noise sequence.
Works for me.
