Yes! Yes! Yes! Although not surprising coming from another EMACS user.
It's amazing how hard it is to convince people that you can get things
done so much faster if your fingers never leave the keyboard. Unfortunately
it requires training to achieve the speed increase, which many people are
unwilling to go through. The mouse appeals to our laziness. Beckoning
"Use me and leave your brain behind". In the real world where time is
important the best CAD operators use button boxes with all sorts of special
purpose functions on them rather than wasting time with the mouse. Well
at least it was like that way back when I worked in that industry...
By the way, I was aware of your LDRAW emacs mode. It was one of the main
reasons I started the ldglite port. It's been a real long while since I
did any lisp though so I don't know how much help I could be.
