It's very non-intuitive. Yeah [and on my happy-hacking keyboard, they're even hard to type]. I agree that `C-x e' is kind of a pain to type, but what's wrong with `C-x (' & `C-x )', exactly? [I'd actually prefer to have a meta-shifted key to do what `C-x e' does, then I could just hold down the meta-key on my keyboard and repeatedly hit the command key.] -Miles -- "1971 pickup truck; will trade for guns"
