From a touch-typist point of view, it's not the *length* of the key sequence, so much as how easy the finger movements involved are. `C-c C-m' is relatively simple: hold down `control', then hit `c' and `m', which is fast because they on altermate hands. At least for me, the `alt' key is a more awkward key to reach than `control'. Also, it has the advantage of having an `m' in it somewhere. Of course, we wouldn't want to start a trend . . . . Dale.
