My bad. I'll think of that next time.

Maybe that's the way to go. I thought about some of the other binding
currently being available per default. Aren't the ^B and ^F bindings
redundant when most desktop keyboards today have arrow keys?

I gotta admit, I've never used the undo feature. Now trying to get a
grip around it, I've tried the following:
  1. Editing a new file
  2. Entering a single character
  3. Justifying with M-}
  4. Undoing with M-U
  5. It undoes the (text add) action?
  6. Justifying with M-} again
  7. Trying to undo with M-U and it gives me "Nothing in undo buffer!"

Am I understanding the undo feature wrong? Shouldn't it undo the justify
and not the text-add action? And is the Undo feature a one time thing
per line?
