Subject: bug#16071: Erc re-binds [home] even if not beginning-of-line
Date: Fri, 06 Dec 2013 11:37:23 +0000

Package:  emacs
Severity: minor

	As of 0dd4ebbcf94d, erc-mode-map unconditionally binds both C-a
	and Home to erc-bol.  Which is problematic, as:

	• either (or both) of them may happen to /not/ be bound to
	  beginning-of-line (as, for example, when using an older,
	  Emacs 20-or-so, binding of Home to beginning-of-buffer);

	• the user may’ve previously bound additional key sequences to
	  beginning-of-line, which are not rebound by the current
	  erc-mode-map.

	It’s arguably more semantically correct (and convenient) to
	re-map beginning-of-line to erc-bol, instead of using an
	explicit list of key sequences to be bound to erc-bol.
