https://github.com/positron-solutions/user-keys#motivation I found myself nodding aggressively in agreement to the approach to keybindings described here.

same, and love Meow which gets a mention

imo emacs should ship with no default bindings 😈

That does seem interesting. Certainly lots of legacy things that cause be trouble in a terminal

It feels a bit like what corgi is trying to do

> We need to fix something culturally. Other users might say things such as, “The C-x C-f command.” This is wrong. There is no “C-x C-f” command. There is a “C-x f” key sequence that is bound, by default, to the command find-file. This is a binding. preach!

though I think "Commands do not deserve bindings." goes too far for my taste

If there were no key bindings in Emacs, how would a command be run :rolling_on_the_floor_laughing:

I think a command not deserving a keybinding is different from a user choosing a keybinding for a command, which I get. M-x and vertico does mean I use bindings a lot less. Paredit/treesitter/combobulate and movement mostly now.

I have [SPC][SPC] in meow bound to M-x. That, vertico, consult, and orderless give me a lot of what I want from keybindings and do make me a bit annoyed about some that are there

At some point I was experimenting with some code to keep track of my most frequently used m-x ehem execute-extended-command commands, so I would have a curated list of prime subjects for assigning to keybinds.

Benjamin C18:06:38

I think that would be a neat thing to tuck into emacs. Ship with no commands bound, and have a sheet that shows you the commands that you would most benefit from binding to something.
