Ouch, I didn't realize that you left the spaces intentionally, sorry. I always thought that "avoiding trailing whitespaces" is a general convention everywhere. But I see your point now, that's a nice trick! For lisp/scheme code I use 'beginning-of-defun'/'end-of-defun' commands instead of 'backward-paragraph'/'forward-paragraph' (if that's what is bound to M-up/down for you). -- Alex
