All wrong! (Sorry). Well, ctrl-y is correct, but it's written C-y in emacs-speak. cmd-w is Command-w = Apple-w = MS-Windows-w. Nothing to do with C-w Opt-w is Alt-w and has nothing to do with (Meta-w) M-w which can also be typed as ESC w. It's true that on keyboards lacking a Meta key, Alt is often mapped to Meta, but this is not necessarily the case. > If you are very new to Emacs, i suggest you to type "Ctrl-h" then "t" : Write it: C-h t > it will launch the Emacs tutorial and should make you more familiar with > the keyboard strokes and general handling & behavior of Emacs. > BTW : in the tutorial the META key is either the mac option or command, > it depends on the Emacs configuration of the mac-command-key-is-meta > variable. Ah! You see? Meta can be mapped to Command instead of Alt! -- __Pascal Bourguignon__ http://www.informatimago.com/ Nobody can fix the economy. Nobody can be trusted with their finger on the button.
