Alt+1,2, etc is already used by an XFCE terminal emulator which I'm using (The windows key could do it - I'm not sure how i'd bind it, though) Does it mean that nobody alse has problems with it? I mean either I'm misusing something unnecesarily ending up with 10-20 buffers (gnus, slime, notes) or it's normal, however, not really annoying for most emacs users:) What say you?:) -- regards .Martin.
