Well... naturally, we got new keyboards eventually (the first Sun
workstations), and I was back to square #1. (And there was always the
problem of temporarily using a different terminal on a different system - I
felt naked without my magic keyboard.)
Bit hard; lesson learned. Now I play with the software, and leave the
keyboard alone.
Heh. I carry my .emacs with me on a USB key, along with my
accumulated library of .els. I can use a few of the native
keybindings, but I consider it a hardship, to be suffered only until
I can load my "real" ones. ;-)
Important observation: I do that because with emacs, I CAN. I've
bounced around from various *nix systems to PCs to Linux to Mac OS X,
and in every case so far I've been able to make the keyboard do what
I want. (Okay, yes, for a remote system I do have to use a competent
X server rather than a vanilla telnet session.)
To me, this is a big part of the point of learning emacs in the first place.
