Yeah, I've always liked the shifted prefix key approach. It's kind of good from a self-documenting perspective too; in gnus if I can't remember the key for some command, but I know the command is a summary command, I can do "S c-h" and find it pretty quickly. For some reason, I also find prefix key combinations easier to remember... maybe that's just because the prefix key tends to be mnemonic and that helps my memory. Anyway, I'm not going to enter any further into the Great Key-binding Debate---if I merge my tree and find that all of the key-bindings have been changed, I'll just learn them all again :o) Cheers, Mark -- Mark Triggs <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
