​Cool. It'd be nice if there was a way to define some of this stuff on a
running instance, instead of you guys having to push each feature by hand,
but I'm just being impatient really. Each new feature will need properly
integrating into IPython anyway.

​On keys for the editor feature, users can do `from prompt_toolkit.keys
import Keys`​, then use stuff like `Keys.ControlV` easily. The PT API would
make it pretty simple to take a user's Key subclass and set up their
shortcut. I think only do it once per session though, like any event
handler.

​Best, and thanks again Thomas. You do an awesome job with the Python
community.​
