On an American keyboard, the prefix `C-x*' is harder to type than

As far as I know, `C-x\' is undefined.)

Thus, `C-x\g' (calc-grab-region) is not bad for such a command.

Well, on a french keyboard, the `\' key is AltGR+8 (Yes, it's silly).

In other words, it's one of the harder thing to type (using thumbs
and index of the same hand) :-)
On a swedish keyboard it it AltGr +.

But talking about "hard to type" I wonder if people here does not use "StickyKeys"? (This is platform dependent with a bit different names but at least exists in w32 and Gnome.) With "StickyKeys" you type the keys one-by-one. A real pain-saver when you are using Emacs keys.
