The citation below is from nxml-mode.info. Is this something that should be adopted generally in Emacs?
"The traditional GNU Emacs key combination for completion in a buffer is `M-<TAB>'. However, many window systems and window managers use this key combination themselves (typically for switching between windows) and do not pass it to applications. It's hard to find key combinations in GNU Emacs that are both easy to type and not taken by something else. `C-<RET>' (i.e. pressing the Enter or Return key, while the Ctrl key is held down) is available. It won't be available on a traditional terminal (because it is indistinguishable from Return), but it will work with a window system. Therefore we adopt the following solution by default: use `C-<RET>' when there's a window system and `M-<TAB>' when there's not. In the following, I will assume that a window system is being used and will therefore refer to `C-<RET>'." _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
