Isn't that good enough? It's not good enough for what Terje was complaining about. Under XEmacs, if you open the "Buffers" menu, you can choose the buffer you want to go to. But there is no keybinding equivalent to "go to buffer named foo.c", hence none is written. In this case, one must learn the procedure by reading the manual. I have no problem with this, but Terje confesses to have been unwilling to do so for years. Maybe it can be improved? >> I think something similar exists if you type a M-x command which is >> bound in the current mode? > > Yes; see the suggest-key-binding variable. Since this is cross-posted to XEmacs lists, the variable name is `teach-extended-commands-p' under XEmacs.
