Pressing C-c C-c in diff-mode should be easier. Whenever this topic has come up, one of the arguments was "whatever you are trying to do, Emacs should have a better way to do it than M-g". And in many cases this might be correct. But I don't think that the best way to teach about refined features is to not provide simpler features. -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
