I mentioned to rms that M-{ is used in the various (La)TeX modes and submodes to create the pervasive curly-brace pair: TeX-insert-braces: Make a pair of braces and be poised to type inside of them. Regardless if they move the paragraph commands there or not, could the maintainers of all the (La)TeX modes and submodes please move the bindings of such commands to C-C prefixes? E.g., C-C { to run TeX-insert-braces. Note also that M-} has a list related global binding and something useful (e.g., some kind of LaTeX-find-previous-opened-environment-and-close-it ;-) could be put on C-C } Are any of the (La)TeX support .el package maintainers interested in doing these for the next (or earlier) release?

I think that the paragraph commands could go on M-RET rather than M-{ and M-} One problem is that the various (La)TeX modes and submodes have already bound M-{ to create a pair of curly-braces, leaving point between them. (I am planning on posting a general request to info-gnu-emacs that the purveyors of those modes change that to C-C } per a general trend.) I suggest that there be only one paragraph command and that it take a numeric argument for how many paragraphs to move. --Pres -------- -> David L.
