Hello Benno,

Another reason that comes to mind is that there are only 26 letters to 
associate with Ctrl.

By the way, it would be nice to be able to bind functions to two-letters 
Ctrl combinations. One could then reserve for instance ^S (for 'self') as 
an entry point and add another ^Something for the function to perform.

I didn't know about this combination; on my setting (Fvwm) it makes the 
mouse pointer move 1/100th of the screen to the left.

Seems logical.
I used M-G in nanorc yesterday because I was thinking that I'd use it only 
to "Goto" the line that a compiler would be croaking about.

Yes. I followed your advice and already bound M-S to softwrap.


Kind regards,
