I verify that you are correct. Thank you for the explanation of the steps to get it working and noticed. Still, I would like to continue to promote my solution, because it's much simpler and is instantaneous upon key-press. It might also be more efficient: The help-at-pt solution runs code in all buffers, let's say every 0.1 seconds, all the time; my solution only runs in the selected mode(s) buffers but after every key-press, which for an 'average' touch-typist taking a speed test would be 0.3 seconds. 1 word/minute = 5 char/min = 0.0833 char/sec = 12.0 sec/char 40 3.3333 0.3 120 10 0.1 -- hkp://keys.gnupg.net CA45 09B5 5351 7C11 A9D1 7286 0036 9E45 1595 8BC0
