Hoi Marko,

I have installed the enhanced BRIEF mode and x-keydefs as per your
previous email. It looks like jed is a really nice editor...!
I'm making progress but not as much as I would have enjoyed... :-/

When I'm using the standard jed key bindings (ie. no .jedrc file,
Emacs?) and press Alt-F, the file menu pops down. When I press F10, the
menu activates. When I press Esc-F, the file menu pops down too. So that
all seems to work.

When I use the enhanced BRIEF key bindings, it all changes. I do get
some of the BRIEF key bindings (for instance Alt-L to mark a line, but
not Alt-B to show the buffers nor Alt-E to edit another file). F10
results in a "M-x" prompt. I haven't been able to access any of the menus.

The + key on the keypad generates a "+" with both the standard and
enhanced BRIEF mode key bindings.

Any further ideas? I can still remember the BRIEF keybindings after all
those years but have trouble remembering the Emacs or Wordstar
keybindings as they are not always logical...

best regards,
Jan
