Consider these two definitions: (defcustom my-key [?\C-\ ] "My key sequence.") (defcustom my-key "\C- " "My key sequence.")
`C-h v' then gives these values: [67108896] and "^@". Is this as good as can be expected - is there no way to get something more readable for [?\C-\ ]? Emacs users learn quickly to read "^@" as "control @", and they also learn that this is equivalent to "control SPC", but [67108896] is hard to read and digest. Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but my understanding is that the form [?\C- ] is generally preferred over the form "\C- ", for a key binding. If so, that makes matters worse in cases like this. This form is good: (defcustom my-key [(control ?\ )] "My key sequence.") `C-h v' then gives [(control 32)], which is even clearer than "^@". _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
