I'd also like to see some experimentation with >(i) a binding that would toggle between Alpha's current "always >expand" mode to an "always contract" mode One idea for a key for (i) could be Escape, i.e., after an Escape the _next_ shift+(whatever+)arrow would contract instead of extending the selection. This would admittedly be awkward if you want to contract by more than one step, but I believe the most common reason for contracting is that one has extended the selection one step too far and in that situation an escape is kind of logical.
