Nobody explained good arguments why current M-g is immovable? ,---- | http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2004-03/msg00642.html | From: Richard Stallman | | "I want Emacs to move in the direction of doing word processing. It | may take years, but we will get there. Then commands to specify faces | will become important, and will need a good key binding. | | I chose the M-g binding for that reason, and the reason continues to | have force. So I don't intend to change that binding." `----
... and I doubt much has changed in the year that has passed since then. Jari, you really have to stop arguing from the standpoint "Emacs must have M-g as goto-line or else". I really feel that the use of goto-line to warrant a single char key binding is overblown--specially for a single keystroke binding!; if people use it that often then one should write a proper mode for Emacs to ease whatever one is doing instead of introducing a new keybinding. But what is wrong with C-x ~ for example? What about allowing for something like C-u C-u C-l to recenter at a specific line (if it is just C-u C-u C-l, then prompt the user, if C-u C-u 100 C-l then recenter at line 100)? I think this is quite nice, makes sense keybinding wise. Happy hacking. _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
