I think one of these days we could take a look at the whole of the key
bindings in org mode. It is violating some conventions. For example,
'Alt' usually means something slightly different in actions in both
Emacs and other applications on the system:
`C-f' -> forward-char
`C-M-f' -> forward-sexp
On OS X,
Cmd + H -> Hide <APP>
Cmd + Option(Alt) + H -> Hide others
But in org, it seems the Shift key is taking this role:
M-RET
M-S-RET
......
And usually Shift is not a modifier on terminals so another set of keys
are provided.
Another problem is the C-c C-x prefix. It makes the keys look long. And
I always fear I might type C-x C-c instead which exits Emacs.
Best wishes,
Leo
