I virtually never set custom keybindings in #Emacs preferring instead to rely on M-x function calls because I had such a hard time finding key sequences that weren't used by something else. Since learning that C-c /[A-Za-z]/ is reserved for user-defined keybindings, I've gone mad with power.

Obviously C-c x needs to be defined as a prefix key giving me the ability to abuse this power even more.

I put a lot of stuff on the C-z prefix, since it's easy to type (I have Ctrl next to the space bar), and the default binding of C-z is almost useless

@rpluim no way. I'm actually super curious what you use repeat for that isn't accidental when trying to undo something after coming from typing in a browser or something

@Lens @Robert Pluim 🇪🇺 On my system C-z suspends Emacs and drops me back to the terminal until I issue the fg command to bring it back. I use this for issuing git commands. I could probably do this from within Emacs, but I haven't bothered to figure it out.

@rpluim magit is a pretty awesome git porcelain I think you'd like. It's shipped with emacs by default

@Lens @Robert Pluim 🇪🇺 Might be worth a look, but I'm currently in the "if it ain't broke" camp.

@lens_r Another option is to run a shell within Emacs. I happen to like vterm, but there's term, eat, eshell and more

@lens_r magit is awesome, but it's not part of standard Emacs. VC is, but that's not as good as magit for git (it's great however when you're forced to use some other version control system like CVS, since VC provides bindings that work whatever the underlying system is)
