I say go for it (change `tj-leader' to `C-l' or `C-o'). If there are important conflicts, you'll find them and figure out an alternative. > One work-around that I have been considering is add-hook'ing an > alternative binding (say, in place of C-o => C-o C-o) if I use a > mode that remaps C-o. Sounds reasonable to me. Since you're talking about rebinding a single key, I don't think there will be an unmanageable number of conflicts. I can't think of any minor modes that rebind `C-l' at the moment, although I'm sure they exist. -- john
