/*

You need:

* 4 application-global keys: Left, Right, Up, Down
(Light-version 2 keys: Right, Left  -also possible)

* one application-global object of this class

* the editor-views must know about this object and inform it when the cursor position has
  changed, because - a character was entered
                   - cursor keys pressed
  especially NOT when - Page/UpDown pressed
                      - Mouse clicked

  also when a file/view is closed

* catch the events for the 4 keys globally and change to the appropriate view+cursorposition

thats all...
