But to my surprise, I found out that some keystroke sequences are different between the GUI version and the console version. For example, I am used to activate the ordinary string replacing in the -nw version by typing F10 e r r stringtosearch RET stringtoreplace RET and then go on with the replacing. But in the GUI version, after F10 opens the menu, the other keystrokes ("e r r" in particular) are not recognized, and I need to use arrow-keys (or other keyboard shortcuts) to drive the menu to the desired function. So I have two questions: (1) Was this done by design? In terms of muscle memory, it can be very inconvenient to switch between GUI and console versions. At least for me. :-) (2) Can the GUI version be reconfigured to have the response to keystrokes which is *identical* to the console version? If yes, please point me to some docs about how to do it. Btw, if it matters: $ emacs --version GNU Emacs 24.2.1 TIA, :-) Marko
