There should be some way to "grandfather in" the old default, while migrating towards a new setting. Consider the comparison case: mainstream window managers provide locale-based configurations. EN_US might be the universal default, but it is easy enough for system admins to change this to various other standard settings, even that's just EN_UK. How about adding a configuration-time flag with a name that would help people see that C-a is less-than-optimal, e.g.: LEGACYCOMMANDKEY: set the command to C-a (this could still be the default) MODERNCOMMANDKEY: set the command to some as-yet-unspecified saner command
