Just to give Drew some support here, I agree with his sentiment. Since C-x r is a pretty crowded keyspace, it's probably better not to add more bindings to it without a more compelling reason than "we could". I've found C-x r d to be a handy enough mnemonic for deleting rectangles. But I can understand how C-x r DEL would be nice, so the fact that you can define this in .emacs is, I believe, the right answer. -- John Wiegley GPG fingerprint = 4710 CF98 AF9B 327B B80F http://newartisans.com 60E1 46C4 BD1A 7AC1 4BA2
