This makes sense iff the designer wanted to correct an accidentally held down control key behavior (the code obviously never lived up to that due to the regexp bug). > I suppose this means we have to find a separate fix for the original > bug... ... well, nothing hinders us assigning n, C-n and N to the same key.
