ah, fount it -- thanks. It's bit tricky as that's blank to begin with, but easy to copy and paste from the main preferences.

The thing is, sublime text seems to have gratuitous differences -- i.e. for the most part, ctrl+something on Windows is cmd_something in the Mac -- i.e cut, paste, etc. but they have alt_something on windows mapped to shift_something in the Mac -- huh? I'll need to look into re-mapping the bindings, that can probably be done. > Recently I tried PyCharm 2 and found it had improved a lot from > version 1.

However, I really want to use the same editor fro everyting I edit -- one of the great strengths of (X)emacs -- it had really good modes for virtually everything. Not sure how PyCharm does for non-python files (plain text, LaTex, C, C++, html, CSS ....) What's with having different products for each language? -Chris -- Christopher Barker, Ph.D. Oceanographer Emergency Response Division NOAA/NOS/OR&R (206) 526-6959 voice 7600 Sand Point Way NE (206) 526-6329 fax Seattle, WA 98115 (206) 526-6317 main reception [email protected]
