Really? Why is that? I happen use "..." all the time except for - let's see... - keys that I defined myself, as for example: (define-key input-decode-map [?\u010F] [C-semi-colon]) (global-set-key (kbd "") 'string-to-cmd) The reason I do "..." is simply it is easier to type. So if there is some gain switching I'll do that, of course. -- underground experts united: http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573
