"keybinding" is a little weird and kinky, but "shortcut" is a blatant
lie in Emacs -- once I've managed to hit "Ctrl-Alt-Shift-Win*-x RET
butterfly", any pretense of saving time has gone out the window.
I use Emacs because I like how it feels; I use keybindings because
they remind me I'm alive...
*oh g-d, know you all know my dirty little platform secret :-(
But, seriously folks. Keybinding and shortcut keys -- roughly the
same. Now, shake hands.
