Well, I like staying in home position as much as possible. The bindings could

Right. The part I'm talking about is this:
[route 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7]
[s from_rejection_outlet]
How do I make a connection from [route]'s rejection outlet to [s]? With the
current DesireData
keyboard system I select [route] and do <ctrl-tab>9 times, then
<ctrl-down-array>, then <ctrl-tab>
2 times, then Enter. Rather than physically clicking a key nine times, I'd
like a way to specify
the xlet number with the number keys, which could cut the number of keystrokes
in half. (That's
what I'm talking about regarding vi efficiency, though it doesn't have to be
the exact same key
bindings.)
