I remember this was a problem for some Mac users.
The bindings are only on M- after the change to free the 
Option key for transposed characters.
Like Option-l for "@" or Option-d for "∂". 
The problem is that some users are accustomed to work with
the Option key and they have to learn to use Command or Control instead.
(This depends on the Qt-setting for swapped keys being on or off.)

I don't know if this scenario is likewise on Linux or Windows.
