Actually is _is_ simple commands that should get the useful
keybindings.  The complex ones can be called explicitly.

But if we really want to get into mode-surpassing text processing and
markup, it is quite clear that the current keybindings leave us almost
no place to go.  That is why I suggested opening this particular can
of worms together with the "Super" key.  Placing text processing
functions on Super keys will not take away the currently alloted
keybinding space, and with an entry shortcut like M-s, one could even
manipulate stuff on pure text terminals (where the need for font
manipulation of the text may be less, but not completely absent).

Current "industry standard" keyboards have a key that is used as
Super-modifier in recent X servers.
