True enough, but I think this particular sub-thread was about the pros and cons of a particular editing mode within emacs (paredit), in which context it's reasonable to presume that the people taking an interest, are already of the faith. For those using emacs but not familiar with those particular keystrokes, C-h k can provide documentation on what a particular keystroke means. If you're interested, C-M-f, and -b move forward and backward by one balanced s-expression, C-M-u moves up a level of parentheses, and -d down, M-( (not C-M-( as I had above) inserts a balanced pair of parentheses, and M-) moves out of one, inserts a newline and re-indents. Plus they do analogous things in other modes (for example C modes).
