Concur.
Likewise, your "Insert" mode toggle was formerly ^Z in SCO, but it'll be
something else in Linux (or -any- POSIX-compliant system whose shells
honour POSIX job control). That's normally SIGSUSP, and you don't want
your insert toggle key sitting on top of suspend. That's another one I'd
just suck it up and learn the new binding.
It's really not the rest of the world's fault that SCO stood at a
standstill with non-POSIX shells and non-standard bindings for a couple
decades. :) :(
