I almost feel like this a somewhat pointless feature. It’s almost easier to just learn the default ones as opposed to adding “-modernbindings” or creating an “enano” variant/copy.

    It’s definitely just my opinion. Honestly did not mean to imply otherwise.

    I would almost prefer them to just switch to the new keybindings by default in version 8.0.

      For my opinion I usually create a comment below my post to seperate my opinion and the post itself.

      On-topic: I do believe it’s useful to have this switch and there’s nothing stopping distros to change their default. Completely replacing the default keybindings might be surprising to long time users, but I also believe it should be done at some point. For the meantime this switch can be simply added as an alias.

        Fair point. I guess this was more of a casual post, so I didn’t think too much about it.

        I would have preferred if they switched to new keyboard model in version 8.x by default.

        I am a relatively light Linux user. Raspberry Pi headless via DietPi/Debian for NAS/Media server/torrents/PiHole and some experiments with self hosted services on major cloud services. I prefer to stick to defaults whenever possible.

          Same goes for me.
          E.g. changing vim keybindings on my local system to better suit my non-QWERTY keyboard would be annoying since they don’t transfer to remote systems. That’s a reason I like fish, because it’s defaults are modern and useable, compared to zsh/bash which benefits strongly from plugins.
