Delete branch "main"
Deleting a branch is permanent. Although the deleted branch may continue to exist for a short time before it actually gets removed, it CANNOT be undone in most cases. Continue?
Based on my research, these don't seem to be bound by default (at least according to this list).
They don't seem to be present in the CM5 emacsy keys list either: https://github.com/codemirror/CodeMirror/blob/master/src/input/keymap.js#L30
We've also gotten reports that this conflicts with inputting some characters.

Seems to be using the Hungarian keyboard for inserting the
<and>characters.M-> and M-< are right there in the list you linked. But yeah, I can imagine these getting in the way in layouts that use alt to pick special characters (and it seems hard to detect that situation in JS), and mod+home/end already provides an easy way to navigate to the start and end of the document. So, at the risk of annoying people who are used to these keys, let's drop them.
I believe we should be looking at the
OS Xcolumn rather than theEmacscolumn here which are the actual keybindings in Emacs. TheOS Xcolumn specifically doesn't list theM-<andM->keys.Oh, right, didn't look closely enough. Well, that's good, then no one will miss them I guess.
