Yes.

I had focused on testing keybindings with <Opt> in them. Testing a
little more on navigation I find that <Cmd>[arrow keys] don't work.
(They are instead mapped to <Ctrl>[arrow-keys].) This should be fixed
-- along with the <Shift> variants, of course.

As I said, these are custom keybindings. So I previously used
<opt><cmd>[number] to set bookmarks; now this is <ctrl><cmd>[number].
In every case, the change shows up in Preferences > Editing >
Shortcuts, and I can manually change it back.
