Since both C-x and C-c are prefix keys, and thus used a lot in sequence with other keys, C-x C-c has always seemed like a particularly dangerous binding to me. One of the first things I changed when I started to use Emacs was to change the "kill-emacs" binding to C-x C-c C-x (global-set-key "\C-x\C-c" 'nil) (global-set-key "\C-x\C-c\C-x" 'save-buffers-kill-emacs) C-x C-c C-x works really well (it is still easy to type, and I've never hit it accidentally). -- Kim F.
