Well... the suggested experiment does not remove C-o, it changes C-o in a way that is, I believe, painless.Sorry; I didn't read the patch carefully. So it basically moves `C-o' to `C-o C-o' (and makes the `C-o' prefix open for new commands)?I don't use `C-o' myself, so I can't really say to what degree this would be annoying or not for users. Any `C-o' users who have an opinion here?For now I count 3 people from mailing lists who already objected to it, including me.
I've only seen one (you), and perhaps a second one (Alfred), but I'm not quite sure because he initially thought that open-line would be removed.
How do you Lars insert new lines, before the current line with cursor?
I can't speak for Lars, but if this is something that I frequently needed, I would either learn the C-p C-e C-m sequence, or make it a command in my init file, for example:
(global-set-key (kbd "M-RET") (lambda () (interactive) (previous-line) (end-of-line) (newline-and-indent))) (M-RET has a similar purpose in org-mode.)
Gregory, don't you think that 3 users including me who expressed their objections is not part of the experiment already?
No, precisely because nobody actually experimented the potential change. You cannot give an opinion on a change before experimenting it for some time, say, at least a day.
