I haven't been following this thread so take this with a grain of salt,
but I count key-chords as single keys – since they can all be pressed
in a single motion,
I agree that chording makes for single commands.
Scott,
Also,
the C-M-a to go back to beginning of heading works when one is somewhere 'under' the heading: in the 'content'/text in that section... so I think it is different from C-a (did I understand you right?).
:)
Scott, you had said
I'm not in favor of increasing the number of keys one needs to press to perform a basic motion.
I too hope there is a 'good' resolution to this.
FWIW, I have already followed the example of other responders and bound C-M-... to work like the C-c C-... equivalents -- I find this change to be an improvement over C-c C-... :
the trivial loss being that C-M-.. no longer works for parentheses-based movement in org buffers.
which would mean
| C-M-a | 1 key press |
| C-c C-a | 2 key presses |
but maybe my hands are just too accustomed to typing in Emacs and it's
skewing my perception.
Best – Eric
