Alt+number keybindings interfere with UK keyboard layout about md-writer

[zhuochun]

Similar to #8. In v0.7.3, the key mappings are resolved to only work in plain text and markdown files.

If you do not want them totally, you can disable them by going to Atom -> Open Your Keymap and paste the following at bottom:

'.platform-darwin .editor':
  'alt-1': 'unset!'
  'alt-2': 'unset!'
  'alt-3': 'unset!'
  'alt-4': 'unset!'
  'alt-5': 'unset!'

Even in Markdown files, I'm going to want to use the # symbol wherever I like. With the default settings, I can't.

I'm going to use my keymap to disable this settings, but I'd really stress the importance of reconsidering those particular keymaps in the first place.

[zhuochun]

I think what you have pointed out is reasonable.

Do you have any suggestion on alternative key mappings?

[scottmatthewman]

In the British (Mac) keyboard at least, Ctrl-Alt-1-5 aren't used by default. Don't know about any other language/platforms keyboards.

[zhuochun]

Great! Ctrl-Alt-[1-5] are available in US keyboard as well.

I am thinking about using cmd-j cmd-[1-5] and change some other mappings to cmd-j cmd-*, would you think it is better? Do you find other mappings disturbing?

[scottmatthewman]

A modifier sequence like that would definitely help on the heading front. I haven't noticed any other disruptive key bindings beyond the headings.

[zhuochun]

Thanks. I will use Ctrl-Alt-[1-5] first.
