Are you telling me you actually use 2,400 key bindings?
If you do, then would it really be that hard to invent them yourself?
If you don't, then what good are all of these keymaps actually doing you?
I'm not advocating that you should have to reinvent your keymap. I'm advocating that you should be able to.
Emacs is the very best case available: it's technically possible! Nearly everything else demands we learn its own opinion, instead of implementing our own.
- db48x 3y agoI don’t know them all, no. But it would be absolutely ridiculous to force a new user to try to design a set of key bindings for even the hundreds that I do use. Nobody can predict ahead of time which ones the user will learn over the years that they use an editor, or even which combinations of features they will enable.
- thomastjeffery 3y agoSo don't force them to. And don't force them not to, either.
