As the topic line suggests, I'm using jEdit in OS X, and one of the problems I'm finding is that I cannot assign control-key-combos to actions. For example, I'd like to bind ^a to the command to move to the start of a line, but typing Ctrl-a in the key bindings interface doesn't do anything--though typing Command-a does set the key binding to 'C-a'. It appears as if my Control key (and for that matter, the Alt key) aren't being processed properly (though in the case of the alt key, it does have an effect, just not a useful one; 'Alt-m' produces a 'mu' character, which I suppose might actually work as a binding, but I'm reluctant to proceed with it.)

Also, for defining large numbers of bindings, I find the bindings dialog to be a little annoying. Is there a file of bindings anywhere which can be hand-edited? I looked, but did not find...

And still more...is it possible to have particular sets of bindings associated with particular types of files, i.e. one set of bindings for *.py files, another for *.c?

And finally...is there documentation anywhere for using python to script jedit? It'd be very nice for me to be able to do this...

Thanks,
Ken
