RE: A radical idea: a new XyWrite

More: Assigning you own keyboard layout is a standard part of MS Windows. That said, it isn’t something that can be addressed easily, but it is doable. XyWrite had a template that you could drop over the standard 101 keyboard's function
 keys, but you could easily change to the Dvorak keyboard or even something that resembled the original Atex keyboard. – In Windows, there's a keyboard map.

When it comes down to it, I have found very few functions in Xy that I

use every time I use Xy and which I have not found in any other

editor, or not to the same degree/usefulness as in Xy (without having

to shallow a lot of other useless functions I _don't_ want or need).



These are:



1. Keyboard customizability.

2. The ability to set and delete counters at any arbitrary point in

the text.



The second one seems absurdly simple, yet I have never seen another

program that doesn't assume that I want to number every damn paragraph

automatically once I set one counter at the first paragraph, and I

_don't_.
