I didn't say "merely loading".  There's windmove-mode, for example.

That makes no sense to me: to "waste" keys for an optional package.
We do this for commands for which there's no other option, like
M-. etc.  But here we do have the traditional other-window (I have it
bound to a key that is easier to type).
