While I agree that preserving reasonable defaults should be done, there seems to be serious disagreement as to whether the current defaults actually do make sense. :-) I am content to let any interested committer make that decision, but I ask that whoever first go through a trial mergemaster session using '1' & '2' as the keys. 'q' and 'e' are right there, and I found the improvement compared to using 'l' & 'r' immediately obvious and more intuitive. Your mileage may vary. -- -ChuckReceived on Tue Aug 31 2004 - 18:20:47 UTC
