It is half implemented. The problem is that it relies on my console code, which
is currently not in good shape (mainly because I am trying to do things the
*right way* and running into all sorts of problems with my depth of knowledge
of the NetBSD kernel). I am having rather less time to work on this than I
would like, but that is always the way.

hjkl <- double as cursor keys. I believe it is possible to use the real cursor
