I just spent an hour after updating to e16.8 trying to figure out how to
disable the ctrl-alt-a default behavior. I finally found it in the
/usr/share/e16/config/bindings.cfg under a heading explaining how they
are so well hidden to keep users from accidentally deleting them.
This frustrated me. I use enlightenment because it is so configurable
and gives me the respect that I know what I'm doing and I'm not going to
shoot myself in to foot so I can customize it to the teeth. This secret,
almost immutable binding seems to contradict that notion.
First, is a keybinding to display everything really that necessary? I've
gone quite well without it for years.
Second, the keybinding overshadows a particularly useful emacs operation
that jumps to the beginning of a c-function. I could remap the emacs
command, but I'd rather do away with the enlightenment command I don't use.
Finally, yet again, is it really wise to force such keystrokes onto
users whether they need them or not? I certainly don't think so.
Incidentally, disabling this binding in the aforementioned file does
work, but will likely be overwritten the next time I update.
I'm not aware of the history behind why there are these "unchangable"
key bindings. I fact, I'm not even sure I like them.
However, they have been there "forever", at least back to 0.16.5.
The only thing that has changed is the mouse/keybinding configuration
file. So, I guess you must have made this tweak once before.
Reading README-0.16.8 might have saved you about an hour.
