I think there are basically two directions:
- Find two other C-<char> prefix key combinations to move the main
prefix keymaps to. C-d and C-e come to mind (basically all other keys
that are situated closer to Ctrl or Caps on a qwerty keyboard are all
taken up by popular bindings such as C-a "select all" or C-s "save file").
- Go all the way to VS Code/Atom/Notepad/etc approach and depopulate
these prefix maps. And then use two modifiers at a time for the
important commands/prefix maps which we still need to have bindings. For
example, that would move 'C-x v' to 'C-M-g' and 'C-x C-i' to 'C-M-o', or
similar (Emacs is a lot more keyboard-driven than the other editors in
this example, so a lot of our commands don't have direct counterparts to
look up bindings of, and we'll need to improvise).
Or maybe we could combine these both in some productive fashion.
Not sure if that's the response you were looking for. Personally, I'm
content with only using a small part of foreign conventions in my Emacs
bindings and not looking to switch away. But if we're going to devise a
proper solution for newcomer-friendly bindings, I don't think we should
stop at just the four that cua-mode changes.
