Re: [README] New default keybindings [second attempt]

[Christopher Roy Bratusek <zanghar freenet de>]

C-M-down and C-M-up for raise/lower is o.k. But something else then -m
for maximize is not intuitive. we may use S-M-m but that's also not
intuitive and then we would have to switch all bindings from C- to S-.

... What does C-M-m in emacs do? (I'm from "the other side", using
vim) ;)
