The erognomic keybinding has a new version.
http://xahlee.org/emacs/ergonomic_emacs_keybinding.html
A visual image for old and new layout can be seen at:
http://xahlee.org/emacs/ergonomic_emacs_keybinding_change.html
Description of the main changes:
• Added delete-backward-char, delete-char, delete-backward-word,
delete-word commands.
• The undo, cut, copy, paste, positions has been moved.
Since i don't use qwerty, i'm looking for feedback on qwerty users.
(i.e. in case i had some elisp code errors, or any issues that might
come up)
------------------
The reason for these changes is that recently Stefan Guath pointed out
“real-last-command” can be used to fix the problem with “this-command”
that is used in command-frequency.el. (this-command lumps several kill
commands all into just kill-region, so frequency distribution for
individual kill commands are lost)
With this change, command frequent stat shows that the commands to
delete previous/next char/word very frequently used, 10 times more
than say, undo, kill line, or copy and cut. So, now these have
prominent positions.
Here's a rough stat of the commands that changed position due to the
new finding:
cmd name frequency of use
-------------------------------------
copy 174
cut less than copy
paste (yank) 1691
undo 524
backward-kill-word 2303
kill-word 1074
kill-line 155
delete-backward-char 6558
delete-char 996
