While in the pager and/or other places, press '?' to bring up the help menu that shows which keys are bound to commands. If you find something empty that is OK to use in emacs, you can bind it to quit or exit, e.g.: bind pager,index,attach z exit bind pager,index Z quit Hope that helps. -- -Dave "There are two ways of disliking poetry; one way is to dislike it, the other is to read Pope." -- Oscar Wilde
Mutt inside emacs
Hello, I am really happy except for one little thing. I found out how to get mutt working inside emacs / emacspeak. The only problem is that I cannot press q to quit, I have to quit emacs instead by using Control C Control X (emacs C-c C-x) I'll go to the emacspeak list or emacs list but I thought I'd ask here first. I'll paste my .emacs file below if anyone is interested in this. If I wasted your time, I beg forgiveness, I am just so happy that I have mutt talking to me inside emacs! But does anyone know how I can exit gracefully? I run emacs and press Shift-F2 and mutt runs!

Short answer: You don't have to navigate to Emacs (server) when editing a message. Longer answer: I have my Mutt editor set to emacsclient and I have Emacs' server running. If I were to edit a message in a non-Emacs environment I'd have to travel to Emacs to modify the message. So, if I run screen I would change to the screen that Emacs was running on, if I am in a GUI environment I'd need to switch to a different window. If you have your mutt editor set to emacs then there's no need to do any of this, Emacs should pop up when you edit a message. But then, you could have multiple copies of Emacs running, whereas with the server/client arrangement there is only one instance of Emacs. There should also be a time savings in opening a client versus a new instance of Emacs. By the way, and *just* for information, you can do the same with a vi look alike too - [x]vile. So if (like me) you're a died in the wool vi person you can run a 'vi server'. The one I use is (as I said) [x]vile but I *think* you can do it with vim as well. -- Chris Green
