Good morning all,


I’ve got some answers for Bastien and Ista below.

org-mode 7.7. However, it does not seem like an org problem since it works fine with a minimal org set-up.

nil

Might not be a bad idea :-)

Sorry, I forgot to mention… I disabled those windmove-default-keybindings and bound the windmove keys to A-M-left and friends. I also disabled those in the starter-kit-org.


I fear that debugging this issue will take way too much time from my work. I might go back to something simpler, although I was appealed to the neat structure and the use of org mode of setting up emacs. But that same neatness and de-structuring makes the whole thing a bit opaque. 

Thanks for the suggestions, and I’m open for more! :-)

Cheers,
Peter.
