Editor in beta 4.1

[Daniel Beckham]

Well, I would have to disagree... it might be easier to use your mouse for 
things, but for efficiency and speed, the keyboard always wins...  hands 
down.  I never want to have to use my stupid/slow/bumbling/non-ergonomic 
mouse to do something that I can do with my keyboard.  Sure in Emacs you 
can select buffer | save, but C-x-s is *much* faster.

If anything, an option to turn this behavior on or off would be 
best.   That way everyone can be happy.
