I see no utility in rebinding such sequences. With which-key, pressing c-x and waiting a couple of seconds invokes a buffer with descriptions of all sequences starting with c-x. I just want to list out for sequences with simpler modifiers, C-char, C-M-char, M-char, Super-char and hyper-char. Looks good to go. Thanks Drew -- Tim tj49.com
