Re: Redefining command keys

The only practical problem with your suggestion is that the b key is
already used to print the current bandwidth (or bit-rate, to use the
more correct term) of the clip.

If we want to follow Emacs completely, the navigation keys would be as
follows:

Control-f, right arrow: go forward 6 seconds
Control-b, left arrow: go back 6 seconds
Alt-f: go forward 1 minute
Alt-b: go back 1 minute
Control-a: go to beginning of clip
Control-e: go to end of clip with automatic pause
Control-n, down arrow: go forward 10 minutes
Control-p, up arrow: go back 10 minutes
Control-v, page down: skip to next clip
Alt-v, page up: skip to previous clip
Home: skip to first clip
End: skip to last clip

Yes, I know, control-p is already taken by the pause command.  I could
change that to a p with no control key.  While I'm at it, I could
change the stop command (control-s) to quit (q), and the quiet mode
toggle (currently q) to control-q.

I like this interface, but I know that not everyone likes Emacs.  So
what do you all think?
