Nick's post was a great overview of how to customize keymaps in Emacs (and why one might not want to do so). Just wanted to add that we have two or three nearly complete alternate binding sets for org already: (info "(org) TTY keys") and the speed commands (listed in the variable `org-speed-commands-default'. The TTY keys in particular, although lengthy, are pretty good at keeping one's hands on the keyboard (for those of us who are serious touch typists and know what they're doing, i.e. not myself). -- Regards, WGG
