I must admit, it is hard to ween myself from vi, but I prefer the emacs environment, especially the insertion mode. I wanted the keys to work more like vi, but I did not like vi-mode or vip-mode. I am working on a third alternative, as defined below. It changes the meaning of some of the control and escape key sequences, but keeps the basic input mode intact. I welcome others to send contributions, and I volunteer to coordinate this feature. Note that it makes use of a subset of vip-mode to get the ex commands (via the Escape-Colon sequence). -David- (global-set-key "\C-K" 'previous-line) ; up arrow (global-set-key "\C-L" 'forward-char) ; right arrow (global-set-key "\C-J" 'next-line) ; down arrow (global-set-key "\C-H" 'backward-char) ; left arrow (global-set-key "\M-l" 'recenter) ; redraw screen (global-set-key "\M-^" 'beginning-of-line) (global-set-key "\M-$" 'end-of-line) (global-set-key "\M-r" 'insert-file) (global-set-key "\M-d" 'kill-line) (autoload 'vip-ex "vip" "defines the ex commands" t) (global-set-key "\M-:" 'vip-ex) ; Escape-Colon Precedes ex commands. david@wubios.wustl.edu ^ Mr. David J.
