   @p @sysrq @sysrq is there any way to use up and down arrow keys as navigational keys in acme? I'm getting used to just switching to the mouse to get to some text but sometimes I just need to go up or down a line and it gets annoying to use the mouse for that.

     @kirby @sysrq @sysrq Ha, yeah, that is a thing. I usually use ^A and then left arrow or ^E and then right arrow for the rare occasion when it happens now, but I actually don't move the cursor as much as I used to. (I mean, when I was using vi, while I was thinking I used to spam "kj" or ":w", but that aside, when editing, I don't bounce around as much.)

     The relevant functionality is in the file text.c.
     I customized it to use some of the simple shell/emacs shortcuts (^h, ^p , ^n and M-p/n for page up and down).
     If you want to I can share it.

     This already works; it's not a shell or emacs shortcut, ^H is ASCII 8, a backspace.
     
     I don't know why the opposition to adding keyboard navigation, but I don't really miss it. I think it's really easy to hack the editor so it doesn't bother me much.
