In emacs 24 this is the new feature controlled by the line-move-visual variable. Call me a Luddite if you want but in emacs 24 I turn that feature off. I am very much "used to using" the traditional behavior and like it. Thinking about it I think that the recent addition of line-move-visual to emacs and not to libreadline is probably the reason for the request for this feature. Bob
