How do you move the pointer up or down multiple lines with Emacs?
I can move my pointer up and down one line with my arrow key just fine in Emacs, so I'd like to redefine C-n and C-p to move up and down 5 lines at a time.

editing Rnw in Emacs, gets confused if in math mode or not

Is seems like there is some bool storing the state of math mode or not, and it gets inadvertently flipped. Is there a...
