Whoa, dude. We are *definitely* not targeting the Windows market.

Then why did you (in the plural/generic sense, not the personal one) change all the keybindings in the shift from V1.x to V2.x, from a set that pretty much followed normal *nix conventions to a set that follows Windows conventions instead? This, combined with the utter disregard that's been given to people that ask for *at least the option* to go back to the old bindings consistently, certainly seems to give that impression.

And yes, we know about "emacs" key bindings, but as you'll see even just on a quick read through the comments here, there are a lot of problems with that, and people have gotten some very disdainful responses in trying to get those addressed. Besides which, even if this worked properly, it would still be a bit odd to have to change settings on a *nix system to get GTK to behave like a *nix system, don't you think?
