Yes, though from my POV it is only a second choice. And realized, because no

Because I did not want to mess preferences (or any other file in userdir)
If it were only for cmake tests, then you are right. But I had to account for
automake build too.
So, now we are changing user.bind but only with function keys F20-F35, which
are unlikely at any keyboard
that I know of.
Which Ctrl, Shift and Meta we should be able to create 16*4=64 different
bindings.
