patch 8.0.1232: MS-Windows users are confused about default mappings
Problem: MS-Windows users are confused about default mappings.
Solution: Don't map keys in the console where they don't work. Add a choice
in the installer to use MS-Windows key bindings or not. (Christian
Brabandt, Ken Takata, closes #2093)
