Subject: Two escapes as a prefix
Date: Thu, 12 Feb 2015 11:03:49 -0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20150212200349.GH1673@mail.akwebsoft.com> (raw)
Using emacs 24 on Mac OS X 10.7. All keybindings are designed to be
used in terminal mode.
See
https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/elisp/Key-Binding-Conventions.html
as my main reference.
I've created a number of prefix keys using C-c and an alpha
character. It has occurred to me that some of the most commonly used
sequences could have briefer alternate bindings using two escapes as
a prefix.
Example : coming from vim, Control-[ is second nature and pressing
the control key and '[' twice is almost as fast.
Control-[ Control-[ Control-h
shows me only
ESC ESC ESC keyboard-escape-quit
and
ESC M-: eval-expression
This opens up the possibility of
ESC M-(a...z)
To be clear, I'm proposing alternate bindings, so possible
overwrites by incidental major or minor modes wouldn't "cripple" me.
I'd welcome comments and observations. I expect I will be
edified serendipitously.
thanks
