I also found it used in term/keyswap.el. Is that obsolete too? I have been meaning to complain about that code, as it seems to unconditionally swap ^h and DEL, and provide no way of undoing it (of course one can just set keyboard-translate-table to nil manually). In addition, it seems to assume that keyboard-translate-table is not used beofre it's loaded---it simply overwrites it. Is this superceded by normal-erase-is-backspace-mode? Should it be declared obsolete? --B _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
