Salut Ralf,

Er, I am not sure that I am understanding your feedback.

Do you mean that the `C-c .' keybinding with a negative argument could be used 
to navigate in environments.

My point is the following I have:

%---------------------------------------
\begin{document}

\begin{env1}
  blah blah blah

  \begin{env2}
    blah blah blah

    \begin{env3}
      blah blah blah

      \begin{env4}
         --!-- *****I AM HERE****
      \end{env4}
    \end{env3}
  \end{env2}
\end{env1}

\end{document}
%---------------------------------------

And I want to select env1. So I would like to type just `C-u -1 C-.' because 
env1 is the top-most (after document) environment. I could also do it by 
typing 4 times on C-., or by typing C-u 4 C-., but I find it more convenient 
to use `C-u -1 C-.', because what I want is the _top-most after document_, 
that is to say 0 is top-most, -1 is second top-most, etc...

So if I want the _second topmost_, I think it is easier to type C-u -1, 
because C-u -1 will *always* means "second topmost", while I may need to type 
a variable number of time  on C-. or pass something else than 4 to C-. in 
other cases.

À+,
   Vincent.
