Thanks for this!  On a quick glance it looks like Claude elaborated on what it did for me.  I will
give it a good try over the coming weekend.

Again on a quick glance I saw in the readme:

'Physical-key match. The follow-up key is matched by scancode, so C-x C-s and C-x s are the
same. That is usually what you want; it does mean a chord can�t distinguish �with
Ctrl� from
�without�.'

This is a pretty big deviation and could in the longer term be limiting.  But before I remark
further I'll work with your Emacs edition which appears much superior to the one I have.
