C-x ` completely sucks as a keybinding on many international keyboards. We need a new keybinding alternative at some point of time. But M-g is clean out, in my opinion. Really. My proposal for an C-x ` alternative would be C-x ? which appears to be free at the moment. ? is a frequent character in all languages I know, and so it should be more accessible than ` on most keyboards. It also is connotated with "error" somewhat. -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
