So do I, but that still doesn't make it "a large pain" to type "C-z C-z" 
instead of "C-z", I guess.

I did consider to include C-\ in the options, but \ is hard to type on 
most keyboards: C and \ are the two most distant keys on the most 
widespread keyboard layout (QWERTY), on other keyboards \ requires 
pressing Shift or AltGr, ...  A letter would be much better.

C-^ is clearly not an option, it is way too hard to type even with the 
QWERTY layout (C-S-6).
