Sv: Suggested experimental test

[arthur miller]

I don't understand why people are so passionately wasting time

on arguing about shortcuts. As I understand Emacs it is supposed

to be molded after each ones preference. Personally to me I rebind

almost anything to my liking and what makes sense to me.

So go ahead please, do any change you wish to C-o or whatever

other shortcut, including C-z, M-x or C-x if you would like 🙂.

Well... the suggested experiment does not remove C-o, it changes C-o in a
way that is, I believe, painless.  We cannot know whether it is indeed
painless without experimenting at a larger scale.  The few who objected
against changing C-o may well find out, after trying it out, that this
small change is not as bad as they thought.

As far as I remember, there has not been a lot of negative feedback on
changing C-o, the negative feedback was (to my surprise) mostly about the
possibility of changing the behavior of C-z.
