But I agree, this is over-engineering. Just because it is easily done doesn't mean one should do it. Every time I do something good I do like three layers or something like that. The first layer does something good. The second layer does the same thing, only modified for a special use case and invoked with a prefix keystroke or whatever. The third layer is just hacking-overdrive. Then when I start use it I almost never use even the second layer. And if I do, I don't use it by means of the second layer because I have forgotten all about it - instead I use the first layer, only with modified arguments (e.g., an absolute path or explicit user). >> Yeah, you mean `C-u 4 C-x TAB'?

I don't get C-N to work but `C-u N' works. -- underground experts united
