I would like to point out that CTRL-V is used by nano and pico users
to scroll down one page. If I'm not mistaken, it is used in lynx as
well. In fact, pretty much any readline based application I can
think of uses it. Since readline uses inputrc for its bindings, this
would probably break the binding in many current applications. I
have to agree with Randall that this would be a very bad idea, and
probably cause many mailing-list headaches (as most newbies like to
use pico/nano). If I know Chris' responses, he'd probably say
something like, "Hell will freeze over first before CTRL-V gets
changed." Either that, or "We aren't going to change it because we
are *mean*."
Sorry, it ain't gonna happen, 'Nuff Said.
Cheers,
Nicholas
