There is nothing in the documentation that suggests that it should generate a unique value for every possible key sequence.Maybe there is nothing about that in the doc, but doesn't it seem logical?
No. If that was its purpose, then it should be called something like `single-key-unique-identifier'. A "description" has never had any connotation of uniqueness in any context I have ever seen.
Wouldn't the Chinese (or whatever) character itself (as a string) be the best value to use as the output of `single-key-description'? Or can't we have a string with Chinese characters in it?
I don't know for sure, I would expect descriptions to be ASCII descriptions, but that does not seem to be true for the £ key on my keyboard.
Again, I'm no expert on this stuff. I'm just thinking out loud and asking. I'm thinking that, logically, I should be able to do the same thing with a Chinese character that I can do with some of the other "strange" characters that are bound to `self-insert-command'. I see, for instance, lots of characters that I doubt would be associated with a key from any keyboard - and they all work OK with my code. They probably belong to ISO-*, but I'm not sure they're on any keyboard.
Most iso-8859-* characters are on their respective nations' keyboards. _______________________________________________ emacs-pretest-bug mailing list emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-pretest-bug
