i'd like to point out that some of these bindings are problematic on
qwerty in a way that is not obvious to many users.

many people use shifting keys on both sides of the keyboard.

they do not issue the control of control g using left hand.  that is a
bad idea.  instead, they hold down the right control with right hand
then do g with left hand.

any sequence where one step is on one side and another step is on the
other side is fine unless they are both shifted.  at that point they
become so cumbersome they are likely to be rebound by the user.

fortunately, most of emacs does not use the cumbersome type of binding.

hih.
