In a text editor, which action I do more often?

A: Set the font for the text?
B: Go to a specific line?

Place bets now!




Correct answer was B. If you bet A, you were wrong.

So why the fuck is the default action for Meta-G in emacs "set face"?

RMS need to be hit around the head with a Larry Wall(*) until he grasps the
principles of Huffman coding. Common actions should be shorter.

*: Not the real Larry Wall. A 98% replica. Or how however the spam puts it.
   Heck, even a cardboard cutout would do for this job.
