Possibly my previous comments were too verbose. The essence of my thoughts on input characters is just this: 1. As Jamie said "...emacs knows where your *fingers* are." I'd like keymaps to provide a binding flexibility that reflects that knowledge. 2. For compatibility, keymaps should be capable of being arranged so that ESC gets you to the same place as a meta modifier bit. 3. I'd like to be able to call read-char, or something, and have my code know where the user's fingers are too. 4. I'd like mouse buttons to be treated pretty much as other keys, as far as keymaps and read-char are concerned. Button up or down information should be included in distinguishing button strokes, unlike other keystrokes. And something analogous to last-command-char should be provided for commands to get positional information for the last-command-char if it was a 'mouse character'. Well, that's my wish list. -- Garr
