Hello, I use Emacs at the console (I have an 486/33 :-() and under X.
I've done some key bindings in my .emacs (more detailed in an *.el file called from .emacs but this is not the point): (global-set-key [C-left] 'backward-word) (global-set-key [C-right] 'forward-word) (global-set-key [C-prior] 'beginning-of-buffer) (global-set-key [C-next] 'end-of-buffer) (global-set-key [C-backspace] 'backward-kill-word) (global-set-key [C-delete] 'kill-word) (global-set-key [M-backspace] 'backward-kill-sentence) (global-set-key [M-delete] 'kill-sentence) Well, this works fine under X :-). But under X the <Alt>-key refuses to work as Meta. In any case I have to press <ESC>-... . While working at the console my <Alt>-key works fina as Meta, but the key bindings mentioned above don't work. <C-x> or any <C-[a-z]> works fine but it seems me that the Control key didn't work together with other special keys. A hint for this behaviour is that <C-h k><CTRL-LeftArrow> says that <left> was pressed (the same when trying <C-h k><CTRL-F?> seems only the F?-key to be pressed). So the question is: How to enable the <Alt> as Meta under X and how to make a differnce between for instance <CTRL-LeftArrow> and <LeftArrow>?
