Hm. It's not auto-loaded so users will have to "(require 'magit-simple-keys)" in their .emacs explicitly to use it anyway. Sure, putting it a place like /usr/share/doc/magit would work, but I'm wondering if we should push it more aggressively to get feedback. Then again, I'm biased as the author: I don't know how many people actually (would like to) use it. Maintainability shouldn't be a major concern: it's just a few lines of code that won't break unless magit changes significantly. > Also, in a later version I'd like to render it obsolete by providing > something equivalent (but better integrated) in magit itself. Mainly, I don't want magit (or atleast my local copy) to deviate from the command-line interface too much: I have to use the command-line interface most of the time as a git contributor, and I see magit as a nice shortcut for common tasks.
