I did that, 'x' doesn't provide any feedback so that you know you hit 'x', and $ is two keystrokes, very deliberate.

Mind you, had I grabbed a custom .muttrc off the web right away I may never have seen it, but I tend to prefer approaching new applications on their own terms. It gives me more of an idea what the authors intended for the application.
