I am glad to hear this.

Actually, this is kind-of prepared (just change the comments on

setkey("exit_with_query",  	"^Q");   % Quit
%setkey("exit_jed",  		"^Q");   % Quit (without asking)

It it is consens, that the confirmation is not needed, I am glad to remove
the exit_with_query (clean and easy approach). Another option would be a
user setting (customizable but a bit bloated).

Actually, I have the IDE keybindings almost as much internalized as Guido,
that is why they turn up in CUA as well. OTHOH, I never came across an
application with F3 == search. Maybe one should restrict the F* keybindings
to F1 == Help? Other suggestions (+ supporting data)?

Also on a Linux Desktop it makes jed integrate almost fine.
(Unfortunately, KDE will not take the X-selection from jed, but this is
another issue)

This would be nice indeed.
