Yes, I'm sold on the concept. :-) I can also imagine using it on the Gnus scoring commands (which implements a system that's not entirely unlike this (sort of, if you squint), but not as user-friendly), and as Stefan M mentioned, skeleton selections could use this, and the `C-x C-m' thing, perhaps. Of course, we can't change the current interfaces, but this would be an additional way to navigate particularly complex (combinatorial-ish) commands. --=20 (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) bloggy blog: http://lars.ingebrigtsen.no
