of course i meant proportional (-spaced) text not non-proportional.
cursor keys make some sense when things are laid out
on a fixed-sized grid (including menu items),
which is why they made sense in
the vt100 and DOS worlds, from which they were imported
into the bitmapped world.

that's what i did when i enabled left/right movement as an
experiment, to see if it made people happier.
the world is still a vale of tears, the weather here is worse than ever,
and i conclude the experiment was a failure.
