Can I change this default location? [The "key combination of ctrl+alt+[NumpadNumber] which positions the window" ...
I seek an editor where Ctrl+C copies, Ctrl+X cuts, Ctrl+V pastes, Ctrl+Z undos, Ctrl+Y redos, F3 searches and F2 renames. When I click the left mouse button, the cursor should go there. All modes should be active at the same time (command and insert and ...).
Also Ctrl+W closes the current tab in tabbed interfaces, Alt+F4 closes the currently focused app, Ctrl+Tab tabs between guess what, tabs, Ctrl
