(By and I assume you really mean the logical keys and .) I hope that you don't choose keys such as and for this. Or and . Such pairs are useful for other things. Icicles uses those two pairs of keys for cycling different kinds of matches, for instance. > (and C-v/M-v as well) And I especially hope we don't assign _multiple_ pairs for this scrolling. Icicles uses `C-v' and `M-v' for it. Aren't those two keys sufficient? Why multiply things, here, reducing key binding possibilities for other purposes? ___ Yes, I know that Emacs binds both pairs, C-v/M-v and next/prior, in general. But that was done long ago, when keys were not so precious. I'd prefer that `next' and `prior' were left free of any default key bindings. I feel the same about C-e/C-b and end/home, FWIW. I know that many applications outside Emacs use end/home and next/prior for movement. But I don't think it's great that Emacs does that by default. I do feel differently about C-n/C-p and down/up. But I think that users outside Emacs are _much_ more likely to expect the arrow keys to move down/up than they are to have strong expectations about end/home and next/prior.
