Last I had checked those did not exist; it has been a couple of years
so I apologize.  I don't immediately understand the keybinding options
but I'll look into it.  The split window option isn't what I meant but
I see that at least something is there.

Please don't call me a PLT basher.  I understand you want to stay on
topic, but I'm not the one who invited comparison of Emacs to
DrScheme.  I was given a suggestion I considered unhelpful.  I know it
was well-intentioned and that Matthias understands the DrScheme/Emacs
tradeoff, but I think it was completely fair for me to point out why
that option doesn't work for me and what it would take to improve
DrScheme so that it would be.

I apologize if I was misunderstood, but please do not namecall.  I am
not badmouthing anyone for using, or implementing, PLT Scheme, and
nothing I have done is "bashing".  I'm perfectly happy to drop the
topic.
