This is about a inconsistency in emacs which should be fixed. calc is
part of GNU emacs and it uses and documents M-# as a global binding,
while gnus -- part of gnu emacs, too -- binds it locally.
I don't think I ever approved allocating M-# globally to this purpose.
However, I think if one _must_ be changed, it should be calc, becuase
calc until now has always been an extra add-on to Emacs, and for that
reason probably used by many fewer people than gnus (which has been a
part of emacs for a long time).
That is probably what happened: when I decided to include Calc in
Emacs, I didn't know that Calc had a global binding in it.
Jay asked:
Are there any conventions for global keybindings?
Yes--you should always ask me.
