Earlier in this thread, Eli objected to that proposal because it would
be backwards incompatible.  I don't know the status of that proposal
beyond that.

Changing the mouse wheel behaviour was raised during the discussion as
an alternative.  I agreed, and there seemed to be little controversy
around it, so I implemented that and sent it here.  Sorry if that
caused any confusion.

I see no conflict between changing the key bindings and changing the
mouse wheel behaviour.

Best regards,
Stefan Kangas
