commit f52dcfd03ad5 ("New command `gnus-summary-browse-all-urls' bound to "v"")

[Štěpán Němec]

From (info "(gnus) Summary Buffer"):

  The key ‘v’ is reserved for users.  You can bind it to some command
  or better use it as a prefix key.

"v" is the only alphabetic key that is/was supposed to be free for Gnus
users to bind without having to consider possible conflicts with default
bindings.

I've been taking advantage of that, and I'm pretty sure I'm not the only
one.

Yes. Would it not be better to bind this to 'C-u C-u w' and 'C-u C-u A w'?

Given that a single `C-u' modifies `w' behaviour (makes it use an
alternative browser) in a way that could be valid for the new command as
well, I don't think this would be a good default, either.

IMHO there is no particular need for a default binding for this command
at all.

Maybe just mention the new command in the `w' doc string to make it
easier for users to find (and/or bind) if interested?

Well, you could put that combination on 'C-u C-u C-u w' ;-)

Sounds good to me.
