Another difference is that it is global rather than keyboard-local. What does the "keyboard-local" mean here? I have searched the Emacs manuals, Emacs FAQ, and the archive of this newsgroup, but I don't find anything useful. Can anybody help? Thanks. -- Best regards, Xue Fuqiao. http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/XueFuqiao
