Re: Opening Up More Keymaps Re: Standardizing more key bindings?

[T.V Raman]

Since keybindings are  a strong emotional issue, I was hoping to
divide and conquer the problem, i.e. first free up a new prefix key,
then experiment  by putting a set of related commands on that key --
rather than chasing our tails with arguments over which key to start with.
