You refer to just the ones duplicating the mod-t binding? I'd say it's
an interesting example of how our keybinding system is suboptimal -
even moderately competent users should not find themselves duplicating
stuff like this.

But anyway, even if you filter out the ones binding to xK_t, there're
still 10 configs using this same function definition.

Is that not enough? Before I invest anymore time in trying to make
configs more concise & usable by factoring out commonalities, I'd
appreciate some hard guidelines on when something is meritorious
enough to be put in core and when it is not.
