Summary: Who needs function keys, anyway?
Xref: mnetor comp.sources.d:895 comp.emacs:1254

One of the beauties of emacs is that you CAN set up your own keybindings,
allowing those of us who touch type to keep our hands on the home
keyboard, and move the cursor (or whatever) with combinations of
the plain old regular keys.  Makes for a VERY portable editor,
and allows me to keep my eyes on the screen.  Can you REALLY reach
all those function keys without looking?
