But: Those modes sometimes come with very complicated keystrokes nonetheless! For example, Emacs-w3m is one I had to do a lot of re-wiring as complicated keystrokes were there by default. Note: Sometimes combinations are actually faster than single keys (e.g., C-l is faster than F10) but in many cases the authors of those mode (I think) simply didn't examine the keyboard for free one-key keystrokes to associate with common commands. As it is often said on this list, "FWIW", I wrote this tool so as to be able to hammer keys all over the keyboard and have the associated command pop up in the echo area. This can be used to find a free key fast, or a key that is assigned, but assigned to something you realize instantly you'll not use as often as what you currently have in mind: http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573/conf/emacs-init/show-command.el -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573
