I currently have no willingness to get in that discussion, but I just
want to drop a word to say "do not use A-C and M-C modifiers"!

Personally, I use these modifiers combinations for global bindings in
XFree. For example I use C-A arrows to change workspaces, C-A-m to
minimize a window, not even speaking of the system meaning of C-A-Fx
keys. I am sure that many people use these keys in a similar fashion.

And for M-C, I just need to recall the generalized confusion between
Alt and Meta key.

You have to be more careful in letting TeXmacs cooperate with its
environment. The obnoxious wait window is a typical example.
