Andy> I think changing the behaviour of C-k itself is bad - its too fundamental to emacs users. I agree. I'd be really, really upset if the default changed. Plus, I always use C-k to mean kill to end of line. I've never conciously wanted to kill the whole line. I use C-a C-k C-k to do that. Too much motor memory. I'm usually pretty good at adapting to different keyboards (except for Ctrl/Capslock), but I still find my self using xemacs keystrokes when I'm editing a word document. That just totally hoses the document layout! Ray
