I don't see any need to have the bindings for goto-line, next-error and previous-error available in Gnus Group buffers. (I think we already discussed this when M-g was changes in Emacs.)

This was discussed at the time Emacs adopted the M-g prefix, and I think the conclusion was that it's not a big deal -- though it's too ingrained / important a binding to change in Gnus, people are not that likely to want to use the M-g prefix while reading news/mail. -Miles -- .Numeric stability is probably not all that important when you're guessing. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread
