I'll leave the alternative functions to someone who knows them,
But a quick fix for StrongEd is to have a Taskwindow ModeFile
with
Delete CharstoBuffer("<4>")
Left CharstoBuffer("<2>")
Right CharstoBuffer("<6>")
Up CharstoBuffer("<16>")
Down CharstoBuffer("<14>")

optionally, to enable the use of Ctrl-C that some programs use
change
# c-C ReleaseShiftCtrl BlockCopy
to
cs-C ReleaseShiftCtrl BlockCopy
I also have
c-C CharstoBuffer("<3>")

The arrow key changes allow programs with line editting to have history
