Really glad to see Emacs conventions being respected. 

How about just a section of documentation ("if you prefer the old 
keybindings...") as Emacs config is simply text, after all. It 
could simply be copy-pasted into their init file. 

That way has two advantages: 

1. Does not pollute the repository with a "one time use" 
function. 

2. Gives newbies (some of which I expect may never have used 
Emacs before) a very good and easy example which they can use 
as a basis for their own further customization. 

Taking such an approach, I think, is much more in line with "the 
Emacs way" of doing things. 

Perhaps with an appropriate version bump (not even sure we are 
following semantic versioning, as this will be a brand new and 
separate repository). 

What do you guys think? 

Cheers,

This sounds good to me.

Shall I submit a PR to patch both the keybindings and (as described above) 
the documentation?

If I hear nothing, I'll eventually assume the answer is "yes", but once 
there's been a discussion I always prefer to get an explicit nod first if I 
can.

Best regards,
