For example, "M-g M-g" is invaluable as >a means to fix bad font-lock fontifications (a.k.a. syntax >highlighting). That is not a default binding for either GNU Emacs or XEmacs, so I'm not positive which function you have bound to it. For that purpose I have a menu item which does font-lock-fontify-buffer. I rarely use it, which is why it's a menu item rather than bound to a key sequence. (My menus are not the default menus.) Incidentally, with XEmacs the default binding for M-g is the goto-line function. >If you find yourself using goto-line too often, you should take a good >look at the way you use Emacs: most uses of goto-line should be >unnecessary because Emacs interface with various programs that report >line numbers, such as compilers, Grep, etc., have commands to >automatically visit the file and line number being reported. If you are not using goto-line you are missing a very quick way to move around in files. -- Floyd L. Davidson Ukpeagvik (Barrow, Alaska) floyd@barrow.com
