Now on xemacs in windows I see the following documentation on 'digit-argument: (locally bound to "0", "1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8", "9")(globally bound to "M-0", "M-1", "M-2", "M-3", "M-4", "M-5", "M-6", "M-7", "M-8", "M-9", "M-C-0", "M-C-1", "M-C-2", "M-C-3", "M-C-4", "M-C-5", "M-C-6", "M-C-7", "M-C-8", "M-C-9", "C-1", "C-2", "C-3", "C-4", "C-5", "C-6", "C-7", "C-8", "C-nil")When I get my linux box back, I will probably be using GNU emacs, and if I do remap any of the keys above which are now *globally* bound, what are the implications?
Hello:
You won't be able to use them to provide prefix arguments to commands. For example, `M-7 C-n' moves down 7 lines, but not if M-7 is bound to something other than digit-argument.
Correct. However, on my keyboards, 'C-7 C-n' does the same and is more natural to my hands. It would appear that rebinding 'M-7' wouldn't be too awful, you think? Thanks Kevin tim
