kill-whole-line = always

Ben> -- remove kill-whole-line = always. Do you mean just the value, or the whole variable? I have a slight preference for having the variable go away and use a different function to get the behavior change (it looks like that is what you're proposing, since k-w-l doesn't seem to be fboundp), but that is personal opinion only. Ben> -- C-k continues as "kill to end of line". Ben> -- define M-k as kill-whole-line. Ben> -- move the current, vastly underused, This is false, again speaking personally only. I use that binding heavily (in fact, that and the sexp movement commands are the only ones I use enough to have learned to always use the Meta key for if it's available; others meta bindings I often use ESC <key> still). This is a very common gesture when editing text for me, more so than C-k, actually. Ben> binding of M-k (kill-sentence) to M-shift-k. this is still Ben> usable under tty's, as well. I don't have a problem with that as default (I'll just change it back in .emacs), but I suspect you will find that in general people who spend more time editing TeX than they do Lisp will be upset. If, as I suspect, this is Windows-centric thinking, you should at least add it to the when-running-ms-windows part of sample.emacs. We need EmacsKeyCaps.el, or at least `swap-bindings' (with a custom interface)! -- University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences Tel/fax: +81 (298) 53-5091 _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ What are those straight lines for?
