And C-V normally means page down... ;) But that's only normal for my
particular world view which is *much* different than the majority of
computer users (though maybe not for programmers). I agree that
terminal emulation windows deserve special treatment. However, I'd
also like to think they are legacy interfaces that shouldn't dictate
the development of the rest of the interface.

IMHO, cut and paste are important enough to have named keys on the
keyboard. Why we have "Scroll Lock" and "Esc" but not "Paste" is totally
mysterious to me.
