OK, a variable exists so the user can turn it off completely. That's fine. But I really feel that either (1) the default key bindings should be switched, as I suggested above, restoring the old behavior while making the new one easily accessible, or (2) this variable should have a default setting of nil. _______________________________________________ emacs-pretest-bug mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-pretest-bug
