Hi Werner,
Well, I feel stupid now, after reading your message, I tried
"change-usage", and it works. It's not in the man page, or listed in the
--edit-key help menu, but, there is a one-line note in the NEWS file,
stating that is for testing, so "change-usage" is actually documented,
and I missed it somehow.
Thank you very much,
Roy A. Gilmore
