While I don't enjoy being negative, this doesn't sound like a solution that would work - it essentially needs 'boiling the ocean' i.e. convincing everyone else.

(That's literally the plan described in the article)

The first paragraphs of https://clojure.org/community/etiquette nail it: the software community is about making. If you want something done, make it.

How would a "maker-driven" solution look like in this domain? For example:

- make a terminal emulator that accepts the devised keybinding system

- make at least one popular program (e.g. Emacs) play fine with said terminal

- promote that combination, showing the world how the technology can in fact work. Word of mouth would do the rest.
