Some editor questions

I have some questions regarding the editor, to which I haven't
found the answers myself, so I decided to post it here.

1) What are the shortcut keys for the tools? The manual says
that they're bound to Meta+Control keys, so for the editor it's
Meta+Control+e right? It doesn't work with me. I checked my
X settings and my "Alt" keys are bound to "Meta".

2) How do I make "regions" visible? In Emacs, it's called
transient-mark-mode.

3) How do I change the font lock colors? I looked at fontlock.lisp
and I did a SETF on say *FONT-LOCK-STRING-FACE* but it
didn't seem to work.

4) When scrolling past the topmost or bottommost line in a buffer,
how do I change the behavior of the editor so that it won't recenter
the cursor?

Thanks.

I looked at Edi Weitz's lw-add-ons and saw hints at the command
"Tools Listener".

Same, lw-add-ons.

I was looking at a more Emacs-ish way but I found that there was
a menu command it the Works -> Tools -> Preferences menu that
does what I want.

I don't know the answer to this yet. Any hints, guys?

That's probably (which worked for me):

(setf (editor:variable-value 'editor::scroll-step) 1)

Thanks, Martin!
