Hello:
You won't be able to use them to provide prefix arguments to commands. For example, `M-7 C-n' moves down 7 lines, but not if M-7 is bound to something other than digit-argument.
Correct. However, on my keyboards, 'C-7 C-n' does the same and is more natural to my hands. It would appear that rebinding 'M-7' wouldn't be too awful, you think?
I find the M-5 (for arbitrary values of 5) binding very convenient
when I want to evaluate an expression and put the result at point, M-7 M-: is easier to type than C-7 M-: similarly for commands like
"shell-command-in-region" etc.
<grin>well, let's see..... on my linux box I map my windows key to F13, so I could then map F13 to 'eval-expression. F13 sets right next to the alt key so then I could do M-7 [F13] ...... ssoo many choices. And I really appreciate the input. tim
