Clearly, little effort is being put into learning the application before criticizing it. The commands and hot keys I mentioned are quickly apparent on the Code menu pulldown of the Komodo main menu. Kommodo's hot keys are, in fact, compliant with Windows standards -- as much so as TextPad's as far as I can tell. If one wants an editor that works like Notepad, then look no further -- it is installed with Windows. If one wants a programming editor with much more functionality, then some study will be necessary -- the term "RTFM" arose for a reason! In a sepearate message, I will post a list of hot keys that I found in the HTML user guide installed with Komodo.
