If you read my post, I said clearly that mouse usage is what causes me pain. We are talking (I thought) about text interfaces versus GUIs. I will add that your proposed key bindings for Emacs, however, would indeed cause me problems. Hitting the ALT key requires contortions not required when using the CTRL key (which I've remapped to be on the home row of a standard qwerty keyboard). For that matter, I prefer "ESC key" to "ALT+key". I also prefer C-n and C-p to arrows as I don't have to move my hands from the home row (I use several different keyboards daily and the arrow keys differ in placement from keyboard to keyboard, annoyingly). And I am impressed at how my name changed... -- Eric S Fraga, UCL GP Key: FFFCF67D F'prnt: 8F5C 279D 3907 E14A 5C29 570D C891 93D8 FFFC F67D BF >++++++++++[>++++++++++>+++++++++++[<]>-]>++.>++++.<-----.++++++.------.
