It's clearly/obviously sane, but hard to do on the
distribution level. It sort of needs to be done upstream.
It's much much simpler if we just use native widgets apps.
developer.gnome.org has some big keybindings tables
maintained by Calum Benson.
This sounds like a candidate for a freedesktop.org standard/recommendation
(if it isn't already).
One application that really annoys me with the non standard key bindings is
Gnome Terminal with the Ctr+Shift+[xcv] options altough I can see why
they're like this due to the app running in the term session possibly using
the ctrl+ options.
