Subject: 28.1; electric-help doesn't work when `help-char' has meta-prefix
Date: Thu, 14 Apr 2022 18:04:18 +0900

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hello,

As I set `help-char' to `\M-H' to use the default `\C-h' as
`delete-backward-cahr', `(char-to-string help-char)' in the definition
of `electric-help-map' fails by `(wrong-type-argument characterp
134217800)'.

A proposal patch is attached.

Regards.
