Also, personally I think left is left and right is right. My left and right arm don't suddenly change places when crossing the Israeli border :-) Now, if movement commands are defined as "word-forward", for instance, it gets trickier. As this particular command is bound to Control-Rightarrow, I take it that the name is a mistake and the intended name was "word-right". After all, it doesn't get any more visual than an arrow painted on top of the key cap. The current implementation of this (which I looked at a year or so ago) is messy. I don't think you can destroy much of value by tinkering with it :-( My 0.02€ - Martin
