While I use Emacs-style bindings in Emacs and libreadline, I also use
a handful of vi-style bindings in screen, ed, less, w3m, etc.

It's cognitively dissonant for me to type, say, G in tmux's copy mode
and have nothing happen.  I expect to be taken to the bottom of the
scrollback, and the confusion is enough to make me lose focus.

I think what I'd like is to be able to tell tmux to bind BOTH emacs- and
vi-style keybindings, and to prefer the former where they conflict (such
as g).

I *could* go through and tediously hand-add all the vi bindings to the
emacs key tables, and periodically check if there are upstream changes
to snarf.  But I'd prefer not to if this is something generally felt
worth implementing in C.  Nicholas, have you an opinion?
