But I probably should get out of the habit. As a previous sufferer of serious RSI, I always warn people against key-chording that requires any contortion. C-M-x (with x=anything on the left half of the keyboard basically) is a bad thing. In fact, often anything with M- is bad for me. I tend to avoid such key chords. For instance, for M-x, I have (global-set-key '[(control x) (control m)] 'execute-extended-command) Actually, in practice, I use evil-mode everywhere so I have practically no key chords! For M-x, I type ", x"... I have defined a number of key org commands into the evil key maps and I'm a happy camper! -- : Eric S Fraga, GnuPG: 0xC89193D8FFFCF67D : in Emacs 24.3.50.1 and Org release_7.9.3f-1199-g3a0e55
