Those, by analogy, would make sense for major modes to bind. C-BACKSPACE is a different issue. Other programs allow C- to delete backwards a word and C- to delete forwards a word. (Like C- and C- which move by words.) This is in fact what C-BACKSPACE and C-DELETE do in Emacs. So major modes should not change them, unless to a mode-specific better way to delete words. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: YOU BE THE JUDGE.
