I think you guys should crack open another sub keymap somewhere, as we "follower" types like to use "official key bindings" rather than each having different bindings for the same thing. I mean what if, in the year 2026, they invent "personality melding", and I get melded with John, who has drastically different ideas where many of the emacs commands are bound. I will then have more split personality problems then the average guy. Sounds funny, but you never know. -- http://jidanni.org/ Taiwan(04)25854780
