Howdy,

This involves placing one file (DefaultKeyBinding.dict --- supplied)  
in one folder (~/Library/KeyBindings/ --- you may have to create this  
folder) and logging out and back in. If you don't like it just remove  
the file (and folder if you wish) and log out and back in. There isn't  
anything to break.

Good Luck,
