Unless the prefix argument of C-x 2 and C-x 3 is deprecated (which is unlikely in the short term), suddenly deciding that a raw prefix argument has a different meaning than a non-raw prefix argument will make things even more confusing than they are. >>> Window managers have shortcut keys 'x' for maximize, and 'n' for >>> minimize. >> >> Out of curiosity: which window managers? > > On many window managers.
