Subject: Why not enable extra keys by default?
Date: Wed, 10 Jan 2024 22:51:33 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <m27ckgzwka.fsf@me.com> (raw)

Hi folks,

I have the 'org-use-extra-keys' customization enabled to avoid reaching
for the arrow keys, but the variable needs to be set before loading Org,
which makes literate configuration a bit more complex.

Other Emacs commands have alternative keys bound by default, which makes
me wonder, why does Org need the 'org-use-extra-keys' customization?  If
the user rebinds any of the extra keys, their personal key bindings take
precedence, so all should work well for everyone, right?

If so, then why not (1) enable the extra keys by default and (2)
deprecate the 'org-use-extra-keys' customization?

Thank you for your time.

Rudy
