C-RET is taken by modes already. I find that Esc and TAB keys are close enough to make typing Esc TAB a simple enough operation. Even though I am at the moment using Blackbox which does not intercept M-TAB at all. But I am used to Esc TAB, and don't find it hard to reach. -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
