Package: drscheme
Version: 1:352-4
Severity: minor

Dr Scheme claims in its documentation (ex.
http://download.plt-scheme.org/doc/352/html/drscheme/drscheme.html#node_toc_node_chap_3
)  that it uses the basic set of Emacs-key bindings. One of the
canonical Emacs key bindings, crucial to anyone who has more than a
passing familiarity with Emacs, is M-f. M-f is bound to
"forward-word", and the naive Debian user could be forgiven for
expecting M-f to also work in the editor window, and go forward one
word. This is not so: instead, it rudely opens up the File menu,
completely interrupting everything one may be doing.

This is because in Edit: Preferences: Editing: General:  there is an
option called "Enable keybindings in menus" which is turned on. Once
turned off, M-f does the right thing and works as expected.

I think that the package should provide Dr Scheme with that option
turned off by default. As it is, there is a weird mixture of
Windows-style shortcuts and the professed Emacs-style shortcuts. Let's
rationalize things and go either one way or the other.
