These work great: thank you.

One observation after using them for a while: it seems odd (on a standard qwerty
kb) to use the semi-colon to activate these modes, and then to have to shift the
same key (to access the colon) to activate quick tabs and the :set options.

Obviously, with the current bindings, there would be clashes (the 's', for
example), but would it not be simpler to only have the one key to enter command
mode?

This isn't a complaint/feature request.

Cheers,
