If you hate C-x C-f you can rebind it (C-o in CUA, right?), you can use the "disk key" as provided by disk.el, you have dired, or you get Windows Explorer calling ... what was that? gnuclientw.exe? I think that's what I used. I just browsed folders with Windows Explorer and pressed Enter on a file, or 2*clicked it, or drag'n'dropped it into Emacs. In Emacs, and this is just an opinion, activating menus from keyboard is a corner-case, not a normal (as in "frequently performed") procedure. But, if that's your procedure, fine. But then, I don't think it's Emacs making it difficult ... -- Juanma "Having a smoking section in a restaurant is like having a peeing section in a swimming pool." -- Edward Burr
