I'd be interested. I use jove heavily (ever try to run GNU Emacs on a
1MB non-VM system?).
It occurs to me that a better fix is to teach jove about dynamic keymaps.
The basic ones (mainmap, pref1map, pref2map, miscmap) could remain as is,
and some new commands "create-keymap" and "bind-keymap-to-key" (or just fix
bind-to-key to handle dynamic keymaps); then go ahead and use them. (For
that matter, if we fix bind-to-key to handle dynamic keymaps, maybe we should
fix it to handle macros? Or should it?)
BTW, is there a mailing list or other discussion group for Jove? (Not to
mention bug fixes; (a) process reads fail badly under OSs that don't restart
interrupted system calls, and (b) for some reason using back- slashes in the
substitute string of M-X query-replace deletes the rest of the line being
replaced.) [I've fixed (a), I check to see if the fd is seekable, and set
the blocksize to 1 if it's not. I also restart reads, which includes lseek()
back to the last disk address for real files.]
