Hm... maybe I should spring for a new laptop with a working keyboard...? :-) (My current laptop is a cheap laptop from 2014, that has proved surprisingly resilient...) On a releated note: is it possible to be able to use C-p for what down does and C-n for what up does, when cycling through 'M-x' commands in the minibuffer? (I have googled on minibuffer keybinding but haven't found anything useful)
