+
+;; Due to emacs's legacy running on terminals, some keys are similar but different.  By which i mean, we have ESC and escape, TAB and tab, and RET and return.  The capital letters refer to the control sequences terminals represent these keys as: C-[, C-i, and C-m respectively.  The lower case words refer to the actual keys.
