Today I learned how people use it. Somehow by accident I did define prefixes but now I know it should be done better. Many self made functions I like to put on a key. I have defined now s-p as prefix. before I used C-s-n to make "new people entry", now I will do all with prefix to separate package from eventualy user's made keys. s-p p - will for example search for people. I find it easier with two hands. Left hand Super key, right hand p and p again to search for people. But then there is plethora of various keys that are related to functions related to people. In tabuluated-list-mode I use ' a to find all tasks assigned to other people. Right hand ' and left hand a. I may change it to some prefix so to make it available globally. > (with-hook after-init > (with-key-map global > ("M-x" . helm-M-x) That looks great.

That way I need not press more than one key. C-v is still 2 keys, plus arros. One key plus arrow may be easier. Jean
