It is much more useful to get used to and get into the muscle memory. C-2 is unergonomic, at least on my keyboard. The C-2s and M-2s, etc., doesn't work in a console or -nw Emacs instance without the workaround. And if you do it, probably you want to use it for something better than replicate the C-u functionality which is readily available. -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573
