The erognomic keybinding has a new version.

http://xahlee.org/emacs/ergonomic_emacs_keybinding.html

A visual image for old and new layout can be seen at:

Description of the main changes:

• Added delete-backward-char, delete-char, delete-backward-word,
delete-word commands.

• The undo, cut, copy, paste, positions has been moved.

Since i don't use qwerty, i'm looking for feedback on qwerty users.
(i.e. in case i had some elisp code errors, or any issues that might
come up)

------------------

The reason for these changes is that recently Stefan Guath pointed out
“real-last-command” can be used to fix the problem with “this-command”
that is used in command-frequency.el. (this-command lumps several kill
commands all into just kill-region, so frequency distribution for
individual kill commands are lost)

With this change, the stat shows that the commands to delete previous/
next char/word are used very frequently, some 10 times more than say,
undo, kill line, or copy and cut. So, now these have prominent
positions.

Here's a rough stat of the commands that changed position due to the
new finding:

 cmd name           frequency of use
-------------------------------------
 copy                      174
 cut                       less than copy
 paste (yank)             1691
 undo                      524
 backward-kill-word       2303
 kill-word                1074
 kill-line                 155
 delete-backward-char     6558
 delete-char               996
