acme: ^S -> Putall #365

Why to keep adding keybindings? I like the simplicity of having just a few keybindings for text edition. The GUI and the mouse are always there for other actions.

Actually, @rsc what was the reason for adding Kcmd+{c,x,v,z,Z}? I guess they can be convenient when editing from a laptop without a proper mouse, but {Alt,Cmd}+trackpad seems to work quite well also for those actions.

i'm very happy with mouse for all the actions - including Put, and Putall - when editing code however writing, or redacting, free flowing text seems to be helped with different, more immersive mode

Sorry but we're not adding any more keybindings, especially not for Control sequences. The Kcmd actions were added to make editing nicer on single-button Mac trackpads but I think that's where the line stops. Maybe they were a mistake, but so be it.

Note that we can't even do Control equivalents on non-Mac because ^C too often needs to be interrupt.
