Re: position on changing defaults?

[Richard Stallman]

    Instead, it presumes that that key is only ever used for
    cursor movement.  If the key is rebound to something that behaves
    differently.  E.g. if the user rebinds C-f to find-file, S-C-f might
    activate the region and then call find-file.

That is true, so the method is not perfect.  But at least you can fix
it by rebinding S-C-f.

However, I don't think we should change C-f by default.
