Custom key bindings

When I record EmacsGifs I try to avoid using these key bindings, but chances are my gonzo recording style means I’ll probably slip up every now and then.

Of course, if I’m showing you something that has no standard key bindings and I have something useful set here already, I’ll use them.

Please bear in mind these have been assembled over many years and while I’ve added many to muscle memory, there will probably be several I set up and completely forgotten about. There will also be a few duplicates, but I’ll probably remove those in most cases.

I’ve listed bucky-bits (i.e. modifier keys: Ctrl / Meta / Super / Hyper) in a non-Emacsen way so that they’re easier to read for people new to Emacs.

TODO: I’ll add hyperlinks to commands to help you learn more about them.
