Personally, I never user use `open-line'. I actually don't know what I do instead: `C-a RET', perhaps? But I do have `C-o a' undefined, so I'll put `open-line' there, and perhaps this "opens" a door to a new world of editing proficiency :) If you use C-o for `open-line' all the time, obviously it is not a good prefix key, unless you can assign `open-line' another shortcut just as good, and then reprogram your brain/fingers, of course. As for C-z, I like that even less than I like C-c, for all the same reasons I dislike C-c *plus* it involves the little finger (compared to the index finger) and the keys are even closer than C-c where they are too close already. -- underground experts united .... http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573 Emacs Gnus Blogomatic ......... http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573/blogomatic - so far: 32 Blogomatic articles -
