Hi, I do this from my .emacs.el: (keyboard-translate ?\C-x ?\C-j) (keyboard-translate ?\C-j ?\C-x) This is part of my ongoing effort to use Emacs more ergonomically. It works most of the time, however, ocassionally when I press C-j, `newline-and-indent' still runs. I haven't put my finger on the exact sequences of events that cause this.
guess the "lossage" (C-h l) doesn't reveal much in such a case?
My Emace environment is heavily customized, so any number of things could be causing this. It seems from the wiki and blogs that this swap is quite common among power users
i don't use this kind of customisation, but recently when one of my ergonomic keyboards wore out i looked for a keyboard where (the right) CTRL key is easily reached while my right index finger rests on the J key; it turned out that small keyboards were much better in that sense; (i'm reasonably happy with "mobile keyboard 6000" but would encourage anyone taking this path to do their own testing)
