If you have followed my personal usage of C-o from my previous email:
- behavior #1, cursor at beginnin of line, C-o inserts new line, and I
start typing
- behavior #2, cursor anywhere else on the line, C-a C-o moves to
beginning of line, opens new line
- behavior #3 is the one explained in 1985 manual, to start typing
text in the middle of the line while bringin the remainder of text
down -- this one I do not use
then now please imagine how it would like like with your change:
- behavior #1 above, would require 2 key bindings instead of 1
- behavior #2, above, would require now 3 key bindings instead of 2
- behavior #3 as you explained from 1985 manual, I do not use, almost never
Among all those I would choose the vi like `O' to open new line, but
it does not work within Emacs key binding style.
I am not really fan of moving or customizing any default key bindings,
as for those personal customizations I use either Super key or Hyper
on Caps Lock or C-c LETTER bindings. Reason I am not fan of changing
default key bindings myself is that I wish to have consistent behavior
across multipe operating systems, multiple remote virtual private
servers that run multiple various free operating systems, across
multiple Emacs versions and across multiple Emacs-like editors.
But would I be fan of customizing some default key bindings I would
then replace C-o with C-a C-o like this:
(defun my-C-o ()
"Opens new line regardless where is cursor positioned."
(interactive)
(move-beginning-of-line nil)
(open-line 1))
(global-set-key (kbd "C-o") #'my-C-o)
But I am not doing that, as I do not like having habit on default key
bindings as that breaks my habits on those other computers where I do
not use any customizations.
