Plus Escape?
cua.bind:237:\bind "Escape" "cancel"
mac.bind:362:\bind "Escape" "cancel"
math.bind:139:\bind "Escape" „escape"
Ok, now I propose this for forward-search:
\bind "C-S-colon" "forward-search"
\bind "C-S-period" "forward-search"
The duplication is intentional to make it work for different keyboard layouts.
Is this duplication acceptable or is there some other technique to solve this?
