That might be true for a C/C++ (or Java) programmer. I doubt that it is a problem for an Ada programmer, however -- the _ is about the only key he needs to hit with his pinky. (In practice, I've not found using the pinky to be a problem. The contorsions required by native emacs, yes, but viper mode solves that.) -- James Kanze mailto:kanze@gabi-soft.de Conseils en informatique orient�e objet/ Beratung in objektorientierter Datenverarbeitung Ziegelh�ttenweg 17a, 60598 Frankfurt, Germany Tel. +49(069)63198627
