It does? Why? What arguments favor it? I haven't seen a single one, so far. Have you? All I've seen is Eli's "`C-x SPC' is available", followed by his "Why is everybody ignoring the `C-x SPC' suggestion?". Reasons. > we could also use S-SPC: it's not available under ttys, but > is otherwise free. S-SPC is an even worse choice than C-x SPC. The key for this command does not need to be particularly quick. And it certainly does not need to be easily repeatable. This would be a royal waste of a key that has such attributes. Put the command on prefix `C-x r', together with the other rectangle commands. Easy to use, easy to discover, easy to remember.
