It looks like it's been decided that X is the way to go, but before any code is implemented, I thought I'd just stick my oar in - what if we were to keep to the terminal and open a connection to an X server, if available, and simply query the modifier key states when reading a key? This way we can still have a console editor, but overcome the problem of modifier keys, and not have to bother with window handling. Good idea? Hackish idea? Finally-got-rid-of-curses-and-I'm-trying-to-drag-you-all-back idea? You decide.
