None of that described is unique to someone who has taken the time to
learn the keystrokes or are using other CLI applications. I saw nothing in
there that I didn't do regularly with screen, pine/mutt, nn/slrn, lynx/links
and joe/vim in my heavy cli days.

Or don't know they exist more than likely.

Shortcut keys should be different from application to application. One
presumes that the functions are different so should the keys involved in
invoking them. Only an extremely small percentage of functions are generally
universal and should have a universal binding.

Speaking as someone who has switched no less than 6 times in his lifetime
and switches several times a day I can only see that as a huge hinderance.
