Wow, you guys sure think fast :) But I know where you are coming from. I am a pretty speedy typist and have often been annoyed by odd keys. Now I am wondering: is there an easy way with emacs or some other editor to assign a short string to a 'wierd key'? I hate parenthesies for example (I can't even speell them). It would be nice if I could just type pn and have it immediately subbed out for the char (. cn could close it. Anything out there that lets you set things like this?
