All right, I've done what I think you meant and pushed to master; please tell 
me if I'm on the wrong track.

Here is a proof-of-concept patch for using fancy symbols instead of <right> etc.
Not production quality because (1) it's obviously ugly code, (2) I'm unsure 
about the PgUp/PgDn/Home/End symbols and (3) it only works with modifiers if 
the patch in bug#45536 is applied (which of course I think it should), but at 
least it gives a feeling for whether it's a good thing to do or not.

There is also the question whether to follow the platform convention of always 
using upper case letters, with an explicit Shift modifier if necessary.
