Good one, done

Is there a reason for the keys using capital letters instead of lowercase?

Notion is not case-insensitive.

I think keys are documented in uppercase here because both in the notion
configuration (
https://github.com/raboof/notion/blob/master/etc/cfg_notioncore.lua) and
manpage.

I agree that might be slightly confusing to end-users. I've updated
http://notion.sourceforge.net/notionkeys.html to use lower-case letters.
I'd be open to allowing lowercase letters to identify letter keys in the
configuration (backwards-compatibly of course) and changing the manpage,
PR's welcome.

I split them out into 'grow into' and 'shrink from' - still not great, open
to suggestions.

Interesting. I like your 'rosetta stone' approach comparing the notion
bindings to the tmux ones. The distinction between
navigation/layout/commands also makes sense.

Perhaps we could add the N/L/C information to notionkeys as colours, and
add the tmux column as a hidden-by-default option?

I've added the keyboard reference to github at
https://github.com/raboof/notion-doc/tree/master/keybindings


Kind regards,

Arnout
