It started as an experiment but has lasted for a while now. I have done a similar, but incomplete job remapping the kill keys to the right-hand.

In the tutorial it suggests I use C-p, C-b, C-f, and C-n rather than arrow keys, why should i? What's even more annoying is this: C-p requires left hand C and right hand p, and then C-b requries right hand C and left hand b. Same goes for C-f and C-n. Trying to get used to this is such a pain. It's ludicrous. _______________________________________________ Help-gnu-emacs mailing list Help-gnu-emacs@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gnu-emacs
