Yeah, so the default still shows the help for it. I often either type "C-h k" and then change my mind, or type it by mistake, and will want to cancel it. Once you're familiar with C-g it's just less keystrokes if you don't have to do a C-x 1 afterwards. Just a suggestion, anyway - if you don't like it I can always just override it in my own .emacs. -- Karl Chen / quarl@quarl.org
