Subject: Suggestion for C-t (transpose-chars)
Date: Fri, 20 Jul 2007 11:43:16 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87lkdbl8az.fsf@debby.local.net> (raw)
Hi
With a prefix argument ARG C-t allows to *drag* a character ARG
characters away. Even though the respective code is impressively
elegant I think it would be more helpful when one could *transpose*
two characters ARG characters away from point!
I guess this would also be helpful for non-touch-typists. Isn't it
the case that one confuses only the sequence of two *neighbouring*
characters and realises that very often after typing one or two
additional ones? I find myself often typing C-b, C-b, C-t and C-e.
With the suggested change it would save 4 keystrokes (C-2 and C-t).
Thanks for listening.
