I agree that it is nice (and powerful) to be able to bind arbitrary keys to JDE commands. However, from a "user" perspective, configuring Emacs has always been cumbersome. I have fought with people in my department to get them up and running with Emacs over other IDEs... and I lost. I lost mainly because there is no "standard" way to configure the Emacs keyset. I don't understand it, but it seems that some (many?) people don't like to spend hours configuring their editor or learning keystrokes which use C- or M- Maybe we should add an example .emacs to the Introduction of the JDE-UG. It would contain commands which would give a "standard" feel to JDE, common keystrokes, etc. I am, to say the least, not a fan of other IDEs. But for the most part, they tend to have a common keyset: F5 - Run/Go/Debug F7 - Build F10 - Step Over F11 - Step Into etc. This would be a great way for "more of a user than an implementer" types to be able to add to the JDE project (hint, hint :-) Feedback? greg_fenton. ===== Greg Fenton [EMAIL PROTECTED] __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
