(global-set-key (kbd "C-u") (lookup-key global-map (kbd "C-x"))) Seemed to have worked. I looked this up here: http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/PrefixKey Just in this case this helps you, (or someone else), the thing was knowing that "C-x" is a prefix key. Trying out commands in the *scratch* buffer. You hit C-j and it will execute it immediately, so you don't have to update .emacs and restart. (It will still need to go into .emacs if you want the change to persist.) ((Also, M-: allows you to run expressions in Emacs)), and just in case you haven't already run into these: "C-h f" to lookup help on functions, "C-h k" to lookup what a keybinding does. "Emacs is the extensible, customizable, **self-documenting** real-time display editor." -- http://about.me/rosh _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
