You can right-click on the selection, and choose the options from the menu
that appears.  But that isn't the point - you're only thinking of IE for
Windows, other browsers on other OS's would impose different keybindings and
restrictions.  IMP adding to this would not help matters.

I tried putting keybindings into IMP about six months ago, and it
didn't really work very well; too many quirks and incompatibilities.
