Or, do you mean this? > C-x 8 _SOME_NON_USED_KEY_ X X X X RET I'd drop the C-x 8 1 / 2, C-x 8 1 / 4, and C-x 8 3 / 4, replace them with something else, and then use C-x 8 NNNN RET. Note that I'd also imagine the NNNN to use hex, so it would also conflict with other existing bindings, but I think we can force the use to use C-x 8 0 NNNN for those cases. Stefan
