If no other binding can be found, we can override it in | enriched text mode with a local binding, but as a global binding, | goto-line is certainly much more generally useful. If possible, we really want M-g, because of "g", goto. Using any other key would counter what people have been already using. And it should be one key. If it were two keys, people would never use it. They would map it right back to "M-g". Jari
