RET Command: Toggle CRiSP/Brief emulation minor mode. And here's what the Emulation node of the Emacs manual says about it: CRiSP/Brief (PC editor) You can turn on key bindings to emulate the CRiSP/Brief editor with `M-x crisp-mode'. Note that this rebinds `M-x' to exit Emacs unless you set the variable `crisp-override-meta-x'. You can also use the command `M-x scroll-all-mode' or set the variable `crisp-load-scroll-all' to emulate CRiSP's scroll-all feature (scrolling all windows together). > no long keystrokes, much wider use of keys (say astersk on the numeric keypad > and on the main keyboard are naturally assigned to different key codes _ > still have to find the way to achieve this with emacs, and I've tried!). The "Rebinding Function Keys" node of the Emacs manual says: `kp-add', `kp-subtract', `kp-multiply', `kp-divide' `kp-backtab', `kp-space', `kp-tab', `kp-enter' `kp-separator', `kp-decimal', `kp-equal' Keypad keys (to the right of the regular keyboard), with names or punctuation. `kp-0', `kp-1', ... `kp-9' Keypad keys with digits.
