It looks more logical, at least to me. Okay, I'm a user of ratpoison, so this may affect my habits when it comes to quickly resize windows. I guess the rational behind the actual binding of C-x - is that `shrink-window-if-larger-than-buffer' is more often needed than `shrink-window'. But since C-x ^ is out it's not true anymore for me and I wonder if it is for others. If C-x - were finally bound to `shrink-window', we could then reserve C-u C-x - for `shrink-window-if-larger-than-buffer'. What do you think? -- Bastien
