If you change your key bindings, it is only valid for
the text editor part of the screen, not interactions or
find/replace or any other text box.

    I seem to recall that there were some reasons the key bindings were restricted to the definitions pane, so this might be more of a feature request than a bug. But still, talk with James Hsia-- he worked on the key bindings over the summer and might remember the reasoning.

    There may be issues with overriding the default text-editing
    keys on JTextField. I'd like to find a workaround for this
    somehow. I'm going to add this to my current pile of "polish"
    issues.

    I noticed a similar problem when I implemented the Copy/Paste History. Perhaps we need some kind of central registry for all text areas, so we can change the key bindings for all of them.
