Don't agree here, sometimes there are conflicts with mixed modes -
some tools are fairly obscure -
all we can do is our best to make good choices, but map everything is
a bit unrealistic - unless you accept many strange keymaps with
ctrl+alt+shift+fkeys... but dont think this helps with user
satisfaction/efficiency.

With any generic keymap there will always bee some specific use case
where someone wants to map some obscure tool to a key that doesn't
make sense for general usage, a new keymap can't solve that IMHO.
