What would you suggest? The JDEE cannot just arbitrarily step in and assign key bindings. Most of the simple key bindings have long since been assigned to core Emacs functionaliy. Give me a break. I chose C-c as the first prefix because it is the prefix especially reserved for noncore packages. I chose C-v because it is right next to C-c on most keyboards on the same row and to the right which is comfortable for me. If you can find a better, more convenient subspace of the Emacs key binding space that does not already conflict with core features, suggest it and I'll reassign the JDEE commands to them. Further, please note that I went to the trouble of providing a customizable key binding buffer, which means that you can rebind keys without knowing anything more than how to edit a custom buffer. I knew right from the start that the default key bindings would be unacceptable to many users. That's why I made it so easy to rebind the keys to simpler combinations that are already assigned to other commands but that you feel you can live without. > off from the C-x C-c binding which exits emacs. > Not good.

For me, it was so easy to rebind the step and breakpoint commands to function keys as on the GUI debuggers to which I am accustomed that I never felt the incentive to provide this functionality, given the other demands on my time and the higher priority which users seem to have for other features, such as completion. - Paul > > > "Daniel Hegyi" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > > > > > I think that a user-friendly install-shield-like GUI wizard for > > > the Windows > > > > folks would be very nice.
