Try these: ;; Single char cursor movement (global-set-key (kbd "M-j") 'backward-char) (global-set-key (kbd "M-l") 'forward-char) (global-set-key (kbd "M-i") 'previous-line) (global-set-key (kbd "M-k") 'next-line) ;; kick the habit (global-unset-key (kbd "C-f")) ; forward-char (global-unset-key (kbd "C-b")) ; backward-char (global-unset-key (kbd "C-n")) ; next-line (global-unset-key (kbd "C-p")) ; previous-line Try these for a week. The first few days will be frustrating, as your muscle memory hits the wrong keys. But i bet you won't ever go back. Xah =E2=88=91 http://xahlee.org/ =E2=98=84
