Excuse tyro question (google hasn't helped), but the default behaviour of paragraph reflow (M-q) not advancing to the next para doesn't suit me, particularly when reflowing a large section of text, and i end up doing the combination para-reflow, advance para (M-q, M-]). This is a surprising awkward combination to key in repeatedly. Is there any simple way ("simple" is important for me!) to redefine M-q to behave like M-q M-]?

Add the following to your init file (~/.emacs or ~/.emacs.d/init.el on linux systems):
(defun fill-paragraph-next ()
(interactive)
(fill-paragraph)
(forward-paragraph))
(define-key esc-map "q" 'fill-paragraph-next)
and restart emacs.
