So am I.
On the other hand, I think many new users would expect that M-f would
open the File menu,
I doubt that. I suspect that these new users don't know about the
Meta key. More likely they expect to use a key that is labeled Alt.
Please distinguish among commands, keybinding, and the labels on the keys
which are bound.
For example, I have two keys labeled with an Alt, both of which I have
bound to Meta. I might be persuaded to rebind one of the keys labeled
with an Alt to Hyper -- then I could tell a newbie fried that the key
labeled Alt on the right hand side of the keyboard handles menus.
For testing, please provide alternative xmodmap commands I can put
into a ~/.xinitrc file that define what keys come with various labels,
along with commands to evaluate in a test Emacs session itself.
And please provide *alternative* maps, both for .xmodmap and Emacs,
so we can try different proposals, to see which should be a default
for `emacs -q', on a console, on a console on a slow connection, in a
X windowing system, and so on.
