It reminds me of 1982 and DOS days using WordStar. That program was originally designed to be used without arrow keys. It was very logically set up. Doesn't Emacs have a wordstar mode? Though that might be from a much later version. Vi mode should also have non cursor arrow/mouse movement options. --Douglas David Hansen wrote: > On 4 Aug 2006 22:28:43 -0700 Davin Pearson wrote: > > > C-f. > > > > All computers that I have ever used have > > cursor keys, so to me it seems unnecessary > > to have C-f/C-b/C-n/C-p defined as > > cursor movement. > > Try using C-f/C-b/C-n/C-p.
