   This sounds sooo much like overstated elitism. You may prefer to use C-b
   and C-f and S-&, because you're so good and so l33t, this will never
   change the point : beginners don't, period. Default settings must help
   those people, who have not yet set their .emacs, to use and try the
   software and see if they like it or not.

You do not agree; no need to tell me what I did not say. I just
speak of HABITS. There is no elitism (voluntary or not) in saying
that I do not use directional keys because a) I am not used to,
b) they are not located to an easy and accessible place and c)
because "oldies" are much more pleasant for me to type.

As told, "end of digression for me" (for real now). Anyway, we
won't agree since you are seing a flame/agression where there is
not.

	Xavier
