Oh, this is a sensitive subject :-)

For example: I am happily removing CAPS LOCK on all of my computers
and replace it with an additional CTRL key. This way, I am using my
left pinkie for all kinds of CTRL-combinations. As long as it is not
combined with [`123q~] or TAB, I am fine.

And: although I am living in a German speaking country, I am using
US_intl keyboard settings. Most keyboard shortcuts make more sense
since I switched. Unfortunately, software developers who define
keyboard shortcuts have either settle for their own keyboard layout
(mostly en_US) or keyboard shortcuts are part of the i18n layer
which has also some drawbacks IMHO.

The point is: when you are settling for keyboard shortcuts, you are
going to do some assumptions on the environment of your users. So:
what are these assumptions for Emacs/Org-mode? I guess this is the
root question we should try to answer (and document).
