Function key bindings are contentious enough that I don't think we
should press a particular set.

I think that once customization themes work reasonably well (possibly
even having the possibility to have them mode-dependent?) and we have
found a way to cover keybindings as well, having themes mimicking
various IDEs as well as possibly designing our own native set would be
somewhat natural.

But at the current point of time, I don't think that there is one
binding worth pressing on everyone.
