Hello, Bob.

So, If you remember I don't support such removing at all. Because cgdb 
with such shortcuts allows me not touch Fxx keys at all - same as I do 
when I use vim.

But. If the next release allow full support of ":map" command in the 
start config (and I'll be able to write 5-7 ":map" commands and receive 
same functionality as it is now), let it be as you want :)
