This doesn't match my understanding of marks in emacs, nor what emacs C-h k says: --8<-- M-< runs the command beginning-of-buffer (found in global-map), which is an interactive compiled Lisp function in ‘simple.el’. It is bound to ., b, <menu-bar> <Info> <Beginning>, <begin>, <C-home>, M-<, <menu-bar> <edit> <goto> <beg-of-buf>. (beginning-of-buffer &optional ARG) This function is for interactive use only; in Lisp code use `(goto-char (point-min))' instead. Move point to the beginning of the buffer. With numeric arg N, put point N/10 of the way from the beginning. If the buffer is narrowed, this command uses the beginning of the accessible part of the buffer. Push mark at previous position, unless either a C-u prefix ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ is supplied, or Transient Mark mode is enabled and the mark is active. -->8-- So if you're pushing for a change here we'd need a better explanation. -- jca | PGP : 0x1524E7EE / 5135 92C1 AD36 5293 2BDF DDCC 0DFA 74AE 1524 E7EE
