Thanks again. Besides S-e, S- r,f,m, and d, both right and left, also
raise the OS. That should be easy to remember. Since I don't want to
bother disabling those keychords I will make a virtue of necessity and
consider the behavior to be a feature rather than a bug. These reserved
keys almost make a mnemonic:
R(T)FM, DummEe ;-)
