$ emacs - q Visit a new Python buffer and type: a = b (0) C-M-f at the beginning of the buffer moves the point immediately to the end of line. Expected is point after 'a', as in other modes. As another visible and annoying effect, C-M-k kills more than expected, thus breaking editing habits. Note that C-M-b from the end of line moves point to '(', then to 'b', then to 'a', just as expected. Paul
