Re: C-o

[Alfred M. Szmidt]

   A long time ago I started using C-o as my outline prefix key and put
   open-line on C-o o Yes, Emacs needs more modifiers! 

It is not Emacs that needs more bucky keys, it has Control, Meta,
Super, and Hyper .. on top of Shift.  The issue is that keyboards make
anything beyond Meta impossible to type.  What would be nice is
dedicated keys, C-x 4 and C-x 5 could have a dedicated <window> and
<frame> key (they aren't modifiers ..).

   I also now use xcape to turn the Windows modifier keys into C-x and
   C-c -- helps the strain on my hands, C-x especially causes stress,
   even if you use caps-lock as CTRL.

I have Control mapped to the key beside the Space bar, as intended.
Control should be used for the most frequent things one does in Emacs,
Meta for things that are slightly larger and less common but common
enough.  C-M-.. expanding the scope of an action, etc.

That is at least how Emacs was intended to be ..
