In general, the new key assignments are well-thought, however I get "|" only in Alpha LS-hold plane (which is good) but not in LS-hold plane. On the contrary, RS-0 yields "->" but Alpha RS-0 yields nothing. I'm gonna file a bug for these.

No need to file bug reports. I updated all ROMS to 1291.

I fixed a couple of bugs in the cycler, the +/- key and the EEX key which all share the number detection routine. Now the cycler is smart enough that if a number cannot be expressed in a base, it won't wrap it.

So typing a number now it's:

10101 RS-HOLD-3 and will wrap it with #10101b

but if you type
10201 RS-HOLD-3 will wrap it as #10201o (skips the binary base, since the number cannot be binary.

10801 RS-HOLD-3 will wrap it as #10801h (skips both binary and octal). When you keep pressing it will only alternate between decimal and hexa.

10E6 will alternate between hex and decimal as well, but 10EE6 will wrap it in #h and won't change it anymore (no other base can have a number like that).

I also fixed all the keyboard bindings. The "given that" operator moved to RS-2 and RS-HOLD-2 but it's only available when in alpha mode (when typing equations, you'll be in alpha 99% of the times so it makes sense).
The factorial symbol stays where it was, LS-2 both outside and within alpha mode.
Also the right arrow now it's properly bound in and out of alpha.
