It is actually preferable that plugins do not have default keybindings.

It is not known what combination plugins will be loaded and so it is
not known what combination of keybindings might clash, and it is not
known what keybindings a user might define themselves that can clash.

So I would recommend that default keybindings be removed from plugins.
