[Rwp] some thoughts for the keymap development and things and stuff

[Chris Belle]

Hey, I'm pumped about what's happening now, we've never had it so good, 
even back in the sonar salad days.
I mean, ok, sonar is still king on midi editing,
but
as an over all DAW
and integration of screen-reader and conscious effort from both the DAW 
maker and the access team, well, you know, it's just great.
I'm hanging tough.
