Eh? But Emacs by default already does bind
infamously country-specific keys to general
uses e.g:
overwrite-mode is on insert
abort-recursive-edit is on C-]
ESC is on C-[
...
People _do_ like to bind general uses to
country-specific keys?
No?
Do you mean to say C-c "letter" gives me a
mnemonic play space of my own ... only if I
learn to think in [a-zA-Z] English letters?
> only if I learn to think in ... English
Why does Emacs offer, for personal use,
by default, only the C-c "letter" keys and
some F keys?
Personally I'd prefer an escape key for
translating to Emacs from the locally
conventional key map.
For example, M-o C-c could tell me:
"kill-ring-save is on C-insert, M-w".
C-c C-c can't tell me this because in the
major-mode C, already C-c C-c means
comment-region.
> M-o
C-h b describe-bindings tells me M-n M-o M-p
are not bound, but ( C-h i m emacs RET m
keymaps RET ) doesn't mention that fact.
gnu.emacs.help may someday tell me why.
