Hello,
Sorry for jumping into this thread. I tried the functions above in my
.emacs file (the only trivial difference is that I keybound them to f1
and f2).
They work beautifully with e.g. python, Fortran etc.. codes, but not
with .tex files (where I use latex).
In that case, the cursor moves when I invoke one of the functions above.
How comes? I am not redefining any key-binding involving my f1 and f2 there.
If needed, I can post the part of my .emacs file dealing with the
customization of auctex, but I am not sure the problem lies there.
Any suggestions?
Cheers

Lorenzo
