Well, thinking in that direction, I don't need Emacs at all: a magnetic needle and a steady hand is all that is really necessary. ;-) But putting stupid jokes aside, if I /always/ hit M-> after visiting some file, something is not optimal, right? And bookmarks are a convenient way to visit often-used files, regardless if the directory I'm in. (And I have a rather deep directory structure - I have virtually no files until two levels down, and usually there are three or four. OTOH, there are no more than maybe two-three dozen of files I'm working on at any particular moment. This is a perfect use case for bookmarks.) > --Dale But thanks anyway! PS. BTW, the other bindings you mentioned are useless for me: I have my menu-bar disabled (ok, I /could/ use M-x menu-bar-open...), and don't have an key on my netbook. -- Marcin Borkowski http://octd.wmi.amu.edu.pl/en/Marcin_Borkowski Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science Adam Mickiewicz University
