These are pretty good ideas.  I do like using v as a prefix key
for changing the view.  I do like vd vw vm vy.  I still want to
keep "d" and "w" as fast access keys for day and week view,
but month and year view are used much less, I am sure, so we
could free "m" in this way.

I don't think we shoud make "a" into a double key, instead
also the current "v" could become a double key under "v".  In fact,
log mode could go there as well if we needed the "l" key at some point.
Other candidates would be clock report, grid, and maybe more.

Opinions?
