The problem is since the mouse came out I've not really used keystrokes much. The other problem is I used keystrokes on lots of different programs to do lots of different things and they've all come back to get in the way. Indeed emacs seems to have many many more features than it did in the eighties and I haven't got into the packages yet! I mostly used emacs for c/sed/awk/lex programming where I'd get it to do every test I could think of to make my C coding as error free as possible and to glue everything I could in my chip design work together so I could leave the computer to it while I dug out new stuff to try in the library. Its like going back to the house you grew up in only someone's rebuilt a lot of it and hung the doors the wrong way- seemingly familiar but you dont half bang your head a lot!
