Why don't we just implement the feature, add key bindings for it but
leave them undefined so everyone who wants to use it can bind the
feature to any keys he likes.

As we know in the meantime, we are low on available keybindings,
especially on adjacent ones and we will get more actions. So IMO for
less common commands it's better to leave the default keybindings
undefined and let the user the choice of defining it.
