Bug Description

Are there any keyboard shortcuts in addition to the ones shown by C-h?

Leading on from this query, a tentative feature request, perhaps for a plugin! How about including some motions from vi? as in d6w, 8b ... in fact, much of vim's functionality would integrate very well with PyRoom from a user perspective, such as searching. To do this, there would need to be modes. To make it unintrusive, insert could be the default mode, and the user would exit from it by C-something; when in any other mode, this could be indicated discreetly in a corner. A fade-out message like the one that appears on running PyRoom could say, "Please press i to return to normal editing; press h for further help" or the like.

I'm not proposing turning PyRoom into vim with green text - a judicious selection would need to be made. My personal criterion would be to enable mouse-free basic editing (such as cut and paste, so there would have to be a select mode).

I've only just begun using this app (recommended for use with Salix 13.37 Ratpoison), and I am enchanted.
