As I remember, this thread began with a request for some sort of help
for newbies involving default keybindings, etc. The original desire
seemed to be to be able to put
(newbie-mode)
in people's .emacs files, and have Emacs operate with function keys
doing "useful" things, etc.
It seems to me that there is nothing in such an effort that requires the
default behavior of Emacs to change at all; the new bindings and
functionality would only take place in newbie mode. So, maybe the
original poster could begin by writing and posting elisp code for such a
newbie mode that begins down that road, and others can expand/enhance it.
That activity might be more fruitful than going back and forth about
default, out-of-the-box Emacs behavior.
