Yeah, me too.  Undo is nice in that case.

Thankfully, we dropped that atrocious key assignment in 4.0.
Of course you're free to add it back in .

I'm still straddling the fence.  I switch to the new win.ui
about once a month or so, but then I switch back to my own
key assignments.  Here are some so-called standard Windows
keys that I just cannot use right now - they really mess me
up:

crtl-home/end and ctrl-pgup/pgdn are reversed to my liking.
I've tried, but I just can't get used to it.  It actually
seems to make sense though.

ctrl-z/y Undo/Redo - this one is a real killer.  ctrl-z is
too ingrained as scrolldown, and ctrl-y is too ingrained as
delete line.

ctrl-n New File - ctrl-n is too ingrained as Insert Line.

ctrl-s Save File. I don't actually have ctrl-s assigned, but
you can't (easily always) undo a file save, and ctrl-s is
just to easy to hit.  I don't like it.

The only key that I've adoped from Windows (off the top of
my head) is  MarkFile().  I find that pretty useful,
especially because I compose my mail in TSE, and then paste
it back into Outlook Express.  It is handy to be able to
mark the whole file in one keystroke.

But the jury is still out on ctrl-c/x/v!
