I agree that chording makes for single commands.


Scott,
Also,
the C-M-a to go back to beginning of heading works when one is somewhere
'under' the heading: in the 'content'/text in that section... so I think it
is different from C-a (did I understand you right?).
:)

Scott, you had said

I too hope there is a 'good' resolution to this.

FWIW, I have already followed the example of other responders and bound
C-M-... to work like the C-c C-... equivalents -- I find this change to be
an improvement over C-c C-... :
 the trivial loss being that C-M-.. no longer works for parentheses-based
movement in org buffers.
