Basically, I don't. My only nod in the direction of standard
shortcut keys is Ctrl+C, X and V for copy, cut and paste. Oh, and
one other: Ctrl+A to "select all", that is, to DeFine the entire
file (mapped to U2 frame DFA). That's it. (BTW, these aren't
"Windows" conventions, particularly. They're part of CUA -- Common
User Access -- a cross-platform lingua franca developed by IBM.)

I occasionally debate whether to do more, but always end up deciding
against it. For me, it's not worth the trouble. I have mental
compartments; there's XyWrite, and there's everything else.

Just glanced at some of the documentation for AutoHotKey. It's
impressive -- worth a closer look. Nice find, Harry.
