Okay, today I did some research and found that every "C-c
C-<letter>" binding is used in Org Mode except for "C-c C-g".
While that one is technically reserved for the mode's use, I
suspect the reason it's unbound is that people are accustomed to
using C-g as a quit command (and they get that effect if they
accidentally type C-c, because then they type C-g and it's just an
undefined key -- i.e., it quits, which is what the user wanted).
Note that while "C-c C-h" does not appear to be bound, it actually
is: it gets you a help buffer about the Org Mode keybindings
(which then, ironically, does not list "C-c C-h" as one of the
bindings).
(It's not clear to me whether Emacs's conventions consider "C-c
C-i" to be a letter or whether they treat "C-i" as "TAB" and
consider it special; based on the previous evidence in this
thread, maybe the latter, so we shouldn't consider "C-c C-i" to be
available.)
I think what this is telling me is that Org Mode keybinding real
estate is quite valuable :-), and that unless there are other
people who feel as strongly as I do that `org-fold-hide-subtree'
is amazingly useful, we probably won't decide to bind it by
default in Org Mode. So I should just continue to bind it to a
custom key myself and continue to live a glorious life all alone
in my private keymap splendour.
Best regards,
