Do you perhaps mean C-w (kill-region)? I chose "C-x w" specifically because that key combo was not bound to anything else. Also, while kill-region / yank-region leaves the buffer essentially unchanged, the buffer is still marked as modified. That's why I created that little bit of code. I got tired of telling Emacs that yes, I know the buffer is modified and no, I really do not want to save it. Also, what is "C-x y"? It's not in my copy of the manual. --Dale -- "America believes in education: the average professor earns more money in a year than a professional athlete earns in a whole week." -- Evan Esar _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
