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.
