#7970: Keyboard Intents

Currently the action associated with a key press or combination of keys is
hardcoded and may not match the mental model of the user e.g. on some OSes
the 'end' key moves to the end of a line and on others command + right
arrow performs the same function.
It would be nice to have a preferences pane in which the user can match
key combos with the desired intent à la SpicyKeys.
This could be done by introducing a set of B_ constants for such things as
B_END_OF_LINE which the input server could map from the user's preferred
key combo.
BView could respond to these constants instead of hardcoding the key
combo.
