Description of the main changes:

• Added delete-backward-char, delete-char, delete-backward-word,
delete-word commands.

• The undo, cut, copy, paste, positions has been moved.

Since i don't use qwerty, i'm looking for feedback on qwerty users.
(i.e. in case i had some elisp code errors, or any issues that might
come up)

------------------

The reason for these changes is that recently Stefan Guath pointed out
“real-last-command” can be used to fix the problem with “this-command”
that is used in command-frequency.el. (this-command lumps several kill
commands all into just kill-region, so frequency distribution for
individual kill commands are lost)

With this change, the stat shows that the commands to delete previous/
next char/word are used very frequently, some 10 times more than say,
undo, kill line, or copy and cut. So, now these have prominent
positions.

Here's a rough stat of the commands that changed position due to the
new finding:

cmd name frequency of use
-------------------------------------
copy 174
cut less than copy
paste (yank) 1691
undo 524
backward-kill-word 2303
kill-word 1074
kill-line 155
delete-backward-char 6558
delete-char 996
