I assume you don't what this to occur everywhere, only in a certain mode. That means that you will have to locate that mode hook variable (M-x apropos RET hook RET), and add to it some "meat", that is a function that will customize the behavior of these keys, by modifying the local bindings of the buffer. (defun self-insert-and-space-command () (interactive) (insert last-command-char " ")) M-x local-set-key RET + RET self-insert-and-space-command RET If it's ok, then define your meat: (defun -meat () (dolist (key (list (kbd "+") (kbd "-") (kbd "&") (kbd "="))) (local-set-key key 'self-insert-and-space-command))) Then hook the meat: (add-hook '-hook '-meat) When you test the hook, be sure to kill and reopen the buffer, or directly execute the meat with M-: (-meat) RET -- __Pascal Bourguignon__ http://www.informatimago.com/ HANDLE WITH EXTREME CARE: This product contains minute electrically charged particles moving at velocities in excess of five hundred million miles per hour.
