It's funny that you mention this `set-focus' method, because I can't
find it in the docs, although my code seems to think it's a canvas%
method (oops?). I hope my confusion isn't contagious. ;P
Calling `refresh' of either the display or the editor in the admin's
on-focus works beautifully though, thanks.

That explains it.

I'm kinda struggling with this one. What I came up with is:

(define default-keymap (new keymap%))
((current-text-keymap-initializer) default-keymap)
(add-text-keymap-functions default-keymap)

and then I do (send editor set-keymap default-keymap) for each editor.
Is that what you meant?
This makes some emacs-like bindings work (C-a and C-e go to beginning
and end of line, C-y -> yank). Is there a way to get the more familiar
{C-a -> select-all, C-v -> copy-selection, etc.} bindings?
