That is true, but same can be done with a toggle button in customize? I remember when Stefan M. proposed to use themes. Themes are just lisp, so they can contain any lisp code, but how will it work with visual themes? There can be only one theme loaded at time, right? I know people are nowdays using buffer-local themes with face redirecting, but to have a profile-theme and visual theme it would need some hacking of them mechanism. Having just a file called profile or something is just to write something? I don't know just thinking loud. > But, again, let us not have this preconception stop anyone from experimenting. Indeed. By the way, how much work would it be to switch C-x and M-x prefixes to C-space and M-space respectively. That way someone could rebind keys to resemble more of "modern" key usage (C-o, C-x, C-v etc ). C-z would need rework in terminal. But generally, if a prefix can be remaped automatically, it would be an easy thing to start with?
