So no, it does not allow you to enter arbitrary computations. I'm not saying that this should replace the current language-based approach, but I think that having this for all pre-defined actions (like new tab, run, complete, etc.) would make customizing (as apposed to augmenting) much more convenient. <div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, May 11, 2012 at 1:39 PM, Nick Shelley <<a href="mailto:nickmshelley@gmail.com" target="_blank">nickmshelley@gmail.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"> Sorry to be imprecise.

Xcode has a key bindings section in the preferences menu that has all possible actions on the left and the current bindings on the right, and you can just click on the current binding and change it to whatever you want. I think something like that would be nice in DrRacket, but I have no idea how hard it would be to implement. > > Maybe that's on the list of "It would be nice, but..." > > On Fri, May 11, 2012 at 6:14 AM, Robby Findler <<a href="mailto:robby@eecs.northwestern.edu" target="_blank">robby@eecs.northwestern.edu</a>> wrote: > Ah, good point.
