I know you're angling for option 2 here, but honestly, default churn still sounds like the best choice. Don't like it? Have a one-line config Defaults=1980 and let people like my father-in-law keep using their Shift-Delete, while the rest of us can enjoy an editor that's at least usable out of the box.
- morelisp 6y ago> Have a one-line config Defaults=1980 You could bundle up maybe a dozen keybinds like this, but it's not going to scale to even address the complaints we see in this thread (window vs. frame terminology), let alone the full gamut of mainstream Emacs configuration. And it's a massive amount of work to do. And it's not fundamentally different than just picking an Emacs-distribution-du-jour (Spacemacs, Doom Emacs) right now. If that's what you want, my view is you might as well be churning whole editors. And truthfully, if that's what you want, do it! But I want a kill ring, and buffer/window management that doesn't presuppose multiple frames, and my mode line. I don't want to waste critical keybindings like C-x or C-c on weaksauce single-buffered text operations. And yeah, there's a lot of things I would change if I was doing "Emacs from scratch", but on the other hand I don't need to because I can change them now, and easily share them, and still take advantage of what everyone else is doing.
