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.
