IMO, we better use the function keys for things which makes using
emacs easier.
I don't know what simple editors we need to look like, or whether any of
the simple editors resembles each other. I doubt it.
As an example, M$-Word (which I would image quite a few users are
using -- like it or not) has the following bindings
F2 runs "MoveText",
F3 runs "InsertAutoText",
F4 runs "EditRedoOrRepeat",
F5 runs "EditGoTo",
etc...
Seems completely arbitraty to me...
I don't know what bindings M-$ visual studio (or whatever it's called)
or other IDEs put on the function keys.
We already provide things like crisp-mode which binds a lot of keys in
ways which resembles other editors. That's a reasonable approach.
But it shouldn't be the default to try to mimic other (inferior :-)
editors.
