is there any proposed meaning for the different prefixes (like C-x,
C-c, etc)?
I think C-c prefixes tend to be used for things that are specific to
the current major editing mode. C-x is used for things that are more
global.
[off topic] Incidentally, as I was browsing C-h b (describe-bindings)
to confirm this hunch, I discovered kmacro.el, which allows macro
definition and execution using F3 and F4, implements a keyboard macro
ring (remembering previous macros), and provides a simple macro
counter for inserting numbers (incremented each time) as part of a
macro. I had no idea. I'm still using the "traditional" bindings C-x
(, C-x ), C-x e just as I have been since was first exposed to emacs
over 10 years ago. I'm sure there are still whole worlds of
functionality in emacs I'm completely unaware of. What a beast it is.
