I wouldn't go so far as to say that it's necessary -- or that not going modal will result in falling into an Emacs-like hell. Isn't the goal a simple, little editor? We just have to work within the limitations that we have (the number of keys that actions can be bound to). I'm sure all of the most important things can be covered in the default binding configuration. And users will have the option to add their own bindings -- even bindings using the Meta key if they want -- or change the default bindings to suit their tastes. John
