Subject: 23.0.60; key bindings in Emacs.app (and also launching it)
Date: Sun, 2 Nov 2008 01:40:08 +0100

Hello!

When launching Emacs.app as 'emacs/nextstep/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/ 
Emacs -Q -l .emacs-init.el &' it loads .emacs-init.el as some file,  
not as ELisp code to be executed.

In .emacs I have:

	(global-set-key (kbd "C-©")	'global-set-key)
	(global-set-key [(control ?©)]	'global-set-key)
	(global-set-key [?\C-©]		'global-set-key)
	(global-set-key [C-©]		'global-set-key)
	(global-set-key [A-C-g]		'global-set-key)
	(global-set-key [(alt control ?g)]	'global-set-key)

In all Emacsen I have among the "key translations:"

	A-C-g		global-set-key
	C-©		global-set-key
	<A-C-g>		global-set-key
	<C-©>		global-set-key

In GNU Emacs 23.0.60+22.3 and Carbon Emacs 22.2 I can use the key  
binding. In Emacs.app it is undefined when I press the three keys  
(the Option key is set as no modifier in the preferences). To have  
the key combination working I need to set:

	(global-set-key [C-268632071]	 'global-set-key)

There are some differences in the way Emacs.app interprets pressed  
keys on my German layout Apple keyboard:

Klingon function calls do not have "parameters" - they have  
"arguments" - and they ALWAYS WIN THEM.

Hi,

About the keybindings where some number is required, could you have a  
look in lisp/term/ns-win.el, the x-setup-function-keys function,  
where there are lines like:

...
             (cons (logior (lsh 0 16)  12) 'ns-new-frame)
             (cons (logior (lsh 1 16)  32) 'f1)
...

I am wondering if either:

- more definitions like the second one need to be added here
-or-
- some definitions like the first one are interfering with the keys  
you are trying to use

Could you experiment a little with this?

Also, on the web page for this bug:

http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=1292

All of these chars are showing up as squares; it could be my browser  
but it could also be some munging that happened along the way from  
email to web page.  Could you send me this table directly through email?

thanks,
Adrian

How are these numbers connected to keys on my keyboard or the data  
that Key Codes.app reports?


My basic opinion is that no key press should be undefined, so more  
entries of the second form seem to be needed if they're not  
instantaneously "known."

Hi, I can't reproduce this behaviour in Emacs 25. The .el file runs as
expected. Are you still seeing this behaviour in a recent build?

And neither me! The bug was obviously resolved some time ago…
