Yes personally I'm okay with this too, though somehow I'd prefer if
they eventually
ended up (un)bind-able, but not sure if that is actually necessary.

Anyways having them do something by default sounds good, this way more
people will
(likely even "accidentally" as in by trying out keys) learn of this new feature.

Okay with those bindings too, i hadnt thought of that use.

PS. This is an aside, but I'm very happy to be able to unbind all keys
from justify and spell,
so I'm a little bit afraid to force new keybindings on people, but
OTOH these seem less harmful
than those if pressed accidentally, and also a bit less likely to be
pressed totally accidentally.
