I don't know if I disagree or agree, but note that it isn't just a matter of the number of theoretical keybindings, it is also what keybindings are ergonomic, short, close to asdf jkl; (i.e. fast) perhaps mnemonic (tho that shouldn't be over-emphasized, particularly not for stuff that is used often, as that will bypass the brain pretty soon anyway and enter muscle memory) and such concerns. Good keybindings are not infinite. -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573 https://dataswamp.org/~incal
