Hmm, I didn't find any apps that use command-/. Maybe the keystroke 
for zoom-window will change to work better with Linux/X. The Mac 
keystroke for zoom-window can be adjusted then, as needed. In any 
case, you can make your own personal changes quite easily, if 
Option-F2 just isn't memorable or convenient enough!

Expand word is Option-/. We can eliminate the use of option here; 
Command-/ is more appropriate than Option-/. I'll change that.

One other option keystroke is Option-q, bound to format-paragraph. 
Using option seems necessary, because Command-Q must be quit. I think 
the unusual use of option here is better than the alternative of an 
unusually platform-specific binding (Command-.).
