* Isabelle/jEdit Prover IDE *

This refers to Isabelle/a9d9e47f24a5.

Note that AS+LEFT and AS+RIGHT were already present to navigate backwards and
forwards, instead of using the arrow icons below the menu bar. Thus AS+arrow
keys can be used uniformly to jump around quickly, based on formal entity
definitions, or explicit links (files, URLs, docs, etc.).

It may help to move $ISABELLE_HOME_USER/jedit/keymaps out of the way, let the
application create it afresh, and then sort out new and old keyboard
shortcuts: there have been many changes recently, usually to improve
accessibility. This also helps to click less and type more quickly.

As usual in this formal jEdit notation, "A" means "ALT" on Linux or Windows,
and "CONTROL" on macOS.
