I think we are miscommunicating. All Emacs key bindings are "just for convenience" and each user can rebind them. Notwithstanding that, it is important for default bindings to be convenient. C-x n M-= v is not going to be easy to remember. If a command is worth giving a key binding to, can someone propose a more convenient default binding? -- Dr Richard Stallman Chief GNUisance of the GNU Project (https://gnu.org) Founder, Free Software Foundation (https://fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (https://internethalloffame.org)
