I am sorry, for some reason the prefix key is unknown in a fresh Emacs
:). Worked for me so well yesterday when I teste, I must have some evaled
remains when I was tested and I didn't noticed. Thought I woudl have time to
send new one today, but I didn't. Will send one when I have solved that with
prefix command and key.
