Dieter Wilhelm I don't need the original C-j keybinding, the "M-^" needs to press 3 keys at same time, so I want to rebind the C-j to join-line. I am just wondering how to rebind the key or how can I find the hook. After opening the Emacs, I type (local-set-key (kbd "C-j") 'join-line) and then Cx Ce, It works!! But it dosen't work at .emacs, can you help, I guess I need to find the last setup's hook.
