Is it just a global binding for `M-x magit'? `magit-status`, to be exact. (Though `magit` is an alias for `magit-status`.) > Presumably Magit users who've bound it to that will continue to do so... Well... The thing is, Magit nowadays sets up `C-x g` (and two other bindings) by default, but *only* if those keys aren't already bound to something else. So once Emacs starts binding `C-x g` to something by default, the binding won't work for magit anymore. User who are used to using `C-x g` for `magit-status` will suddenly find themselves reverting buffers when they upgrade their Emacs. FYI, details about Magit's default bindings are here: https://magit.vc/manual/magit/Default-Bindings.html#Default-Bindings > So I don't know whether this is something we should worry about. I suspect it will lead to countless confused users asking numerous questions on every available help forum. Also, given that many Magit tutorials on the web mention `C-x g`, and assuming that many of them won't be updated, it's likely new users will be confused by this for years to come. Whether the latter should be a concern is debatable, of course: we all have to contend with outdated information on the web. But given the way Magit handles its bindings right now, it would be good to give the Magit maintainers a heads-up if the new binding is kept, so they can decide how to deal with it. -- Joost Kremers Life has its moments
