Standardization is never quaint.
I'm referring to the standards used by Gnome and KDE. Oh, they're also
used by MS.
These would be a good start:
<shift>-<movement> to select
Ctrl-X to cut
Ctrl-C to copy
Ctrl-V to paste
Some single key to Save
Some single key to bring up Search or Search/Replace
Del and Backspace don't change function according to mode
