Feature requests from an Acta user

My previous outliner is Acta. (Incidentally, it is still available
from http://www.a-sharp.com/acta/ and runs fine in Classic.)
I miss two command keys:
- Cmd-D (daughter) makes a new item indented under the current item,
same as Return + tab in OO
- Cmd-A (aunt) makes a new item out one level from the current item,
same as Return + shift-tab in OO
It's very nice to have these as single keystrokes.
Another handy Acta feature is, if you have a multi-line item, you can
hide all but the first line by option-clicking on the triangle.
Finally, is there any chance of supporting direct import of Acta
files? (without having to export as text from Acta?) The file format
is supposed to be documented at
http://www.mactech.com/articles/mactech/Vol.04/04.01/FormatDriver/index.html
though that link is not working right now.

P.S. I am used to Acta behavior of Return, it makes a new empty item
without splitting the current item. Shift-Return puts a line break in
the current item while option-return splits the item at the insertion
point.
