C-x r b b - easy to type for users accustomed to `C-x r b', just repeat the last key twice; C-x r b j - good mnemonics ("bookmark jump") C-x r b l - bookmark-bmenu-list C-x r b s - bookmark-set That would make the commands longer, and harder to type. It is better to make no change. Another variant is to use a prefix `C-x B' with the uppercase `B', but I don't understand why there are no other C-x prefix key sequences with uppercase letters. Examples: C-x B j - bookmark-jump C-x B l - bookmark-bmenu-list C-x B s - bookmark-set That would also be harder to type. Also, I'd rather avoid making the character after C-x case-sensitive. It is better to make no change.
