agreed basically... so just in case you can map things like (0.6
that is):

i use mappings like for somekind of emacs bindings ..:

cnoremap <C-p> <up>
cnoremap <C-n> <down>
cnoremap <C-f> <right>
cnoremap <C-b> <left>
inoremap <C-f> <right>
inoremap <C-b> <left>

about <C-u> and <C-k> i just woudn't know how to do.

shift end and delete or whatever... hmm

cheers
