It's the final unused key [...], `v' is the only one (beside `y') that is left in all important Gnus modes (group, summary, server). There are still some lower case letters left in group mode. In summary only v, y and z. > and we may want to use it for something new and spiffy we invent at > some point. If it's so spiffy, we could get rid of some duplicate binding (most of the single letter keys still have a binding in some other map) of a less spiffy feature¹. Reserving `v' gives the user the possibility to bind feature important to him/her to simple key such as `v a' ... `v z'. Bye, Reiner. ¹ E.g., I can't recall that I ever used these summary keys either because I only remember some other binding (b - K v, u - !) or because I never used the command (i, w). b gnus-article-view-part i gnus-summary-news-other-window u gnus-summary-tick-article-forward w gnus-summary-stop-page-breaking -- ,,, (o o) ---ooO-(_)-Ooo--- | PGP key available | http://rsteib.home.pages.de/
