1985 for me. > and I certainly don't have C-M-e nor C-M-t defined. I would think that you do. Type C-h k C-M-e and you will get C-M-e runs the command end-of-defun, which is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `lisp.el'. It is bound to <C-M-end>, C-M-e, ESC <C-end>. (end-of-defun &optional ARG) Move forward to next end of defun. With argument, do it that many times. Negative argument -N means move back to Nth preceding end of defun. An end of a defun occurs right after the close-parenthesis that matches the open-parenthesis that starts a defun; see function `beginning-of-defun'. If variable `end-of-defun-function' is non-nil, its value is called as a function to find the defun's end. >> I might ask on the emacs list if messing with the translate table is >> advisable for competent-but-not-wizard emacs users.
