I have a keyboard shortcut which opens Emacs with a Dired buffer in the directory I am usually editing and I find it more efficient to open the file in question from there and just jump to the line in question with `M-g' than to activate diff-mode for a patch I got via email and having to type in the path to the file the patch applies to. You could argue that such things don't happen often enough to warrant a special key binding, but I find it very convenient having it. -- Ralf _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
