As to your question as to why would you want to modify the keyboard
assignments, do you use the Search command fairly often? You can have any
key, say ctrl-F, put on the command line:

se //
leaving your cursor in between the two slashes, ready to type in the
search-string.
Or, you can avoid having to stretch for the backspace key (and you do make
mistakes, don't you?) by making the left bracket key into an extra
backspace key.
Or, keep all your miscellaneous notes (telephone numbers, passwords,
jottings) in a particular file, call it maybe notes.txt, then program a
key, like alt-n, to bring it up in a new Xy Window.

And so on, ad almost infinitum.
