;;; Commentary:
-;; The kmacro package is an alternative user interface to emacs'
-;; keyboard macro functionality. This functionality is normally bound
-;; to C-x (, C-x ), and C-x e, but these bindings are too hard to
-;; type to be really useful for doing small repeated tasks.
+;; The kmacro package provides the user interface to emacs' basic
+;; keyboard macro functionality. With kmacro, two function keys are
+;; dedicated to keyboard macros, by default F3 and F4.
+
+;; Note: The traditional bindings C-x (, C-x ), and C-x e are still
+;; supported, but for some users these bindings are too hard to type
+;; to be really useful for doing small repeated tasks.
-;; With kmacro, two function keys are dedicated to keyboard macros,
-;; by default F3 and F4. Personally, I prefer F1 and F2, but those
-;; keys already have default bindings.
-;;
;; To start defining a keyboard macro, use F3. To end the macro,
;; use F4, and to call the macro also use F4. This makes it very
;; easy to repeat a macro immediately after defining it.
;; elements with C-x C-k C-t. To delete the first element in the
;; macro ring, use C-x C-k C-d.
;;
-;;
;; You can also use C-x C-k C-s to start a macro, and C-x C-k C-k to
;; end it; then use C-k to execute it immediately, or C-x C-k C-k to
;; execute it later.
