How about the menu item "Goto Line..." in "Go To" in "Edit"? An user has to use both the mouse and keyboard. However, the menu item is useful. Furthermore, comparing with the menu item, the item on the line number of the mode line is more easy to choose; it is always displayed. BTW, IBM's thinkpad note pc has a pointing device at the center of its keyboard. On the note pc, it is quite comfortable to operate mixing mouse clicks and keyboard input. The happy hacking keyboard is inferior to the thinkpad's keyboard in this aspects. Masatake YAMATO
