Hee list 
 
I know I once asked why when saving a file under a different name it suddenly &quot;followed&quot; the new name in stead of keeping working under the same name. 
 
I read the changes and sincs joe 3.6 CTRL KD changed from save file to rename. 
 
I realy hate this new anti feature that really changes default behaviour of joe. 
 
The only option I now have is to just download the 3.5 source and compile and instal it. 
 
While I am happy to finaly have leaned about the reason and found a work arround of this nasty change I am worried that at some point in the future I cannot get joe 3.5 to compile any more. 
 
So here is my request to you developers to revert this behavior back to what is was or to give us at least an other CTRL combination to that behaves as CTRL K D worked in version 3.5 and before. 
 
The code is already&nbsp; there so it should be much work. Just an extra key combination&nbsp; to do what joe always was doing or revert back to&nbsp; the old CTRL K D function and add a new feature rename under a new key stroke. (CTRL K R? if that one is not taken?) 
 
&nbsp;I use joe instead of less or more or cat | more to view config files a lot. And you do not know how much and many years&nbsp; I have to defend my use of joe to my colleagues all these years. They are only engineers that love vi. They hate the DEAJOE files and the backup files with ~ traing the name.&nbsp; I love the DEAJOE&#39;s and ~ files. Joe is much more than vi and easy to install. But I am usually the only one at work that uses joe. 
I use joe for scripting a lot and also for server management. Most of the time I do not need to change files. But sometimes I do. Before I change something I was used to do a CTRL K D and save as *.bak&nbsp; and continue with making changes. But with the new Joe I end up editing the new .bak file in stead of the original file. So I have to exit joe and edit the original file again. Which is really annoying. Also before doing a mayor change to a script I used to do a CTRL K D and save it with the date as extention while I was still working with the original file. 
 
I really do not understand why such a basic function has been changed after all these years. I use joe since 1999 and chose it because I knew wordstar because of borland&#39;s turbo pascal&#39;s editors. I think joe the best editor on linux when wokring with lots of text files or programming large projects in perl. Or reading log files. Just try joe /var/log/http/*&nbsp; in vi. 
 
Maybe I am being a sissy. but I do not care. 
 
For now I can compile joe 3.5 everywhere I need it. (even on my android phone) So I am happy. But I am sure that in a few year from now it wil not compile any more so that is whay I ask for this minor change in joe. 
 
I hope you can help out 
 
Regards 
 
A joe fan and defender.
