3 M-c's in a row will do that without any changes.

Function keys are too far away, so I dislike them.

For the last two, (featurep 'emacs) etc. will do.  So I don't see why
these are needed, they aren't shorter than the above.

For the last two, use display-graphic-p.  (There are more display-*-p
predicates that you may wish looking into.)

The OS predicates are very simple: (eq system-type 'foo).

I looked at this, and there are some features that seem to be part of
Emacs:

   ebrowse.el is the Emacs C++ class browser
   which-func.el shows the current function in the mode line

Why don't you use these?
