Ok, that's a good point. > Why not > use keys that do similar things in other modes? Helps human brains > remember them. That's basically the idea I had when I chose M-(left/right). Firefox, Chrome, and I'm pretty sure IE use those keys for forward/back. I absentmindedly typed Alt+left in Microsoft Visual Something-or-other and it did what I wanted (switched to the last file I was viewing). I figured if people were trying to find the key to go back, that would be their first guess. Well, if no one else thinks M-direction is the right choice I can change to C-c C-(b/f) (and mention them somewhere in the documentation, since those seem non-obvious to me). In any case I should add those bindings for consistency with Help mode.
