As the big emacs-freak I am, I actually thought this would be fantastic. The result: it drove me CRAZY! Apparently all years living in Windows had trained me to cope with all different keyboard shortcuts in different applications. I do almost everything using the keyboard. Seems my brain is mutaded and has a specific memory area for keyboard shortcut. Tried to override the settings in XKeymacs but in the long run it did not work out very well. I guess I have to wait until Emacs controls everything in windows, with keymaps and all... -- MathiasDahl ---- [[XKeymacs]] ---- CategoryHomepage
