M-n and M-p: were initially unused, became what they are now in Emacs 17M-n and M-p are still unused? Or did the convention A major mode can also rebind the keys ‘M-n’, ‘M-p’ and ‘M-s’. The bindings for ‘M-n’ and ‘M-p’ should normally be some kind of moving forward and backward, but this does not necessarily mean cursor motion. (elisp) Major Mode Conventions not exist before Emacs 17?
No, M-n/M-p are of course not unused. They were unused before Emacs 17 (except in rmail mode). The current convention for M-n/M-p started to exist with the binding of M-n/M-p in the minibuffer to move to the next/previous command in the command history in Emacs 17. But of course at that point it was not formalized as a convention.
