Don’t think we have tried to standardize these things, and it does annoy me that something as “universal” as class use different triggers in different languages: C++/Obj-C: ‘cl⇥’, Ruby: ‘cla⇥’, Python/PHP: ‘class⇥’.

To some degree ‘function’ is also fairly universal, although in some languages it would be unnatural to use f⇥/fun⇥ for a member function (method), and particularly ruby, anything but def⇥ would be less intuitive than the current def⇥.
