[ESS] Change C-x h to C-a

[Vitalie Spinu]

Hi Antonio,

Personally I believe it's not a very good idea to remap this action.
It's better to keep the basic navigation shortcuts handy, as they are
by default (unless you have 10cm pinkie to stretch to Home key). With
emacs \C-a is one of the most often used actions, in contrast to \C-x
h which is of occasional use only.

I tried your shortcuts, they both work. And you don't need to put them
in the hook. Just place

(define-key comint-mode-map [(control ?a)] 'mark-whole-buffer)

after ess initialization part.


Cheers,
Vitalie.
