The penalty for clumsy fingers is way to high. I'd have to be carefule and assure that I set my fingers right in order to use this command -- which means that it would me more inconvenient and complicated than `C-a C-k C-k', so I won't use it. [C-S-, or still better: `C-S-k' is fine, IMO.] C-S- is probably safer than S-M-. C-S-k is more intuitive. However, are there people who actually use the Caps Lock key? Because C-S-k might give them trouble. Sincerely, Luc.
