I would not say these are bugs.  Most of your request can be
accomplished by putting the appropriate lines in your .jedrc file.

  definekey ("select_menu_item", " ", "menu");

  setkey ("self_insert_cmd", "`");

Use

  variable Perl_Indent = 2;

outside the function.  That way it will be global.

Buffers and windows are decoupled.  Eventually I will add some sort of
"memory" to windows about where a buffer was placed but it is not high
on my list of priorities.  It would happen sooner if a simple patch
were submitted.

  Use "default" as the background color for your color scheme.  Try,
e.g., the "default1" color scheme:

   set_color_scheme ("default1");

  That would require some sort of absolute positioning syntax to be
  added to the `set_status_line` function, which is not supported.

  Yes.  First press Ctrl-G (or whatever key is bound to `kbd_quit`).
Then press the undo key one or more times.

I hope this helps.
