When I ran out of keystrokes, or close and short ones at least, I setup a new prefix key, namely C-o, which is great because it requires minimal hand/finger movements if you hands are initially at the "asdf" and "jkl;" positions (assuming the US layout keyboard). I actually think C-o is better than C-c for that purpose because with C-c, you have both keys on the same (left) hand which typically makes for a more difficult keystroke to hit, though I'm unsure had I setup the C-o prefix had I known you were "supposed" to use C-c. Are there any other guidelines for shortcuts? For modules, and especially those which you would expect will get a wide spread, I agree you should not override Emacs convention but for private use it is no big deal and it is everyone's game. Also, though it makes sense to make an effort to get it as good as possible from day one, keep in mind that shortcuts are perhaps the first things people learn how to setup to their liking. -- underground experts united: http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573
