why did nobody mention C-M-Space, yet? To me it's one of the most important keystrokes across all modes in Emacs, that somehow support the sexp-concept. One of the keystrokes that I miss in all the other modern editor components. In particular, the way it handles being called several times in a row (more important in non-lisps, though). Crucially, however, these same keys do mostly the same thing in other modes > (though of course they're less useful there), and they don't get in the way. > (inc) That way the functions stored away in your finger-memory don't have to look into the global state reflecting the current major mode, which is usually stored in the brain (but may be cached in finger memory if you stay in one mode long enough). Thus, these functions are purely functional and avoid the slow read on global memory. :-) (The one big exception is org-mode which has just too many bindings that interfere with everything else. But that's rather off-topic.) Regards, Stefan -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
