Xref: mnetor comp.sources.d:895 comp.emacs:1254 One of the beauties of emacs is that you CAN set up your own keybindings, allowing those of us who touch type to keep our hands on the home keyboard, and move the cursor (or whatever) with combinations of the plain old regular keys. Makes for a VERY portable editor, and allows me to keep my eyes on the screen. Can you REALLY reach all those function keys without looking?
