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.

yep, that's the plan. first try to live without it. and when we get the
proper
control-based keybindings we can evaluate if modal matters or not.
But i'm pretty sure it will be more comfortable to move along the code
with hjkl (modes) than ^n^p... but le'ts first try to make it smarter.
