C-space typically sends C-@ on most terminals. > > undo -> C-u (not really right, I know...) If you're looking for to not surprise first-time sysadmins in desperate straits, which is really the only type of person who would be using ae, then I suggest binding C-z (Mac and Windows users), C-/ and C-_ (emacs users), and C-u (Vi users). > > And what about C-? for help? I would suggest guaranteeing that both C-h and C-? are _always_ delete backwards. Otherwise some sysadmin is going to be cursing you somewhere when they're desperately trying to edit their /etc/fstab and can't delete without bringing up the help screen. Incidentally, Esc h seems nicer to me than C-x h for help, but whatever. If you're looking for emacs users to be able to survive you'll need a bunch more bindings though. C-d, M-d, C-n, C-p, C-b, C-f, for example. greg -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
