Well I hope there are enough keys for all the frequent operations of most people. Let me be even more optimistic: I secretly hope that all people involved in this discussion are reasonable enough to realize which of their frequent operations are actually specific to them and more generally not frequent, and I hope that we will eventually all agree on a common subset of "frequent" operations fitting on the keyboard. I know, the above sounds crazily optimistic but this is how progress is made? Concerning which sub-option is more frequent I'd say let the git command line decide and just be consistent with it. >>>> >> >> I am not sure the Ctrl-u prefix is the best key combination/user >>>> >> >> interface ever but it is consistent with all other user interfaces in >>>> >> >> emacs and very flexible. >> > > C-u isn't consistent by nature.

You are basically saying that the actual meaning of "less-frequent" is often far from obvious. I agree but this... - has nothing to do with consistency (how could magit and... xcscope for instance be "consistent" with each other?) - does not affect magit thanks to the interactive pop-up. Once again I am not in love with C-u; I am just trying to be as objective as possible to help find the best solution. And I have still no idea what the best is. >> > > What makes it very flexible? The fact it takes a numeric prefix? I thought it could take more than that. But what do I know? Cheers, Marc [gmane seems to have problems, sorry in advance for multiple copies]
