nnmairix and nnir key bindings

[Reiner Steib <reinersteib+gmane@imap.cc>]

Hi,

I start anew thread about key bindings of the (new) Gnus search
facilities, nnir.el and nnmairix.el.

From an earlier discussion...

Here are three alternatives.  I'd suggest to go for (a).  Opinions?
Other suggestions?

(a) Establish `G G' as a prefix for all search facilities in Gnus.
    `G G' is not used in Gnus upto now (beside nnir.el).

    - Change nnmairix to use the prefix `G G' instead of `G b' in
      group and instead of `$ ...' in summary mode.

      Use `G G m ...' (nn*m*airix) for not so frequently used nnmairix
      commands.
    
    - Change nnir.el's `G G' to some other `G G' prefixed key, e.g. 
      `G G i' (nn*i*r).

(b) Establish `G B' as a prefix for all search facilities in Gnus.
    `G B' is not used in Gnus upto now.

    - Change nnmairix to use the prefix `G B' instead of `G b' in
      group and instead of `$ ...' in summary mode.

      Use `G B m ...' (nn*m*airix) for not so frequently used nnmairix
      commands.
    
    - Change nnir.el's `G G' to some `G B' prefixed key, e.g. `G B i'
      (nn*i*r).

(c) Establish `G b' as a prefix for all search facilities in Gnus.
    `G b' is used in Gnus for `gnus-summary-best-unread-article'.

    - Change nnmairix to use the prefix `G b' instead of `$ ...' in
      summary mode.

      Use `G b m ...' (nn*m*airix) for not so frequently used nnmairix
      commands.
    
    - Change nnir.el's `G G' to some `G b' prefixed key, e.g. `G b i'
      (nn*i*r).

    - Move the `G b' binding of `gnus-summary-best-unread-article' to
      `G B'.

Bye, Reiner.
