MacOS commonly replaces C-X commands on other platforms with s-X.
Amusingly it means you get both emacs style bindings (e.g. C-a to move
to start of line) alongside CUA type bindings (e.g. s-a to select
all).

Looks like the macOS super bindings will interfere with s--, which is
bound to center-line. center-line is also bound to M-o M-s, so I don’t
think that losing the s-- binding would be a huge problem.

This sounds like a good change, too late for Emacs 26, though.
