I am using GNU Emacs 18.50.2 on berkely-unix (Ultrix) and want to bind the function keys to new arguments. I came up with the following code, bound it into my .emacs file, and ran it... and nothing happened. (This is why I thought my .emacs file wasn't being read - thanks to all of you who replied to the previous posting.) Anyway, here is the code. I would appreciate it if someone could mail to me either the mistake I'm making, or some code that would do the right thing. Thank you. If anyone else wants to know, I'll summarize to the net. (put 'eval-expression 'disabled nil) (defvar fnkey-map (make-sparse-keymap) "Keymap for function keys") (define-key esc-map "[" fnkey-map) (define-key fnkey-map "11~" 'goto-line) ; F1 (define-key fnkey-map "12~" 'compile) ; F2 (define-key fnkey-map "13~" 'next-error); F3 Subrata K.

I'm not sure, but I think that your definition of [ under esc-map is getting redefined after you set it. Here's why: - emasc begins by loading loadup.el which starts off the process of initiating an emacs session and right away loads loaddefs.el. - loaddefs.el defines esc-map and further defines esc-map "[" to be backward-paragraph. - loadup.el them starts a few things before getting to loading startup.el. - startup.el then sets some variables, takes care of any command-line arguments, loads the users $HOME/.emacs and THEN LOADS THE LIBRARY FOR THE TERMINAL TYPE. - the terminal library then defines some keys. vt100.el, for instance, defines "\e[" to be the prefix invoking CSI-map and then goes on the define keys in CSI-map --- thus smashing any definition made in the .emacs init file. Realizing that a user might want to set definitions and such AFTER the terminal initialization processing had been completed, the authors of emacs have provided us with term-setup-hook which is processed after the terminal specific library is loaded. I place the following in my .emacs to do some customization: (setq term-setup-hook 'term-setup-hook-procedures) (defun term-setup-hook-procedures () " The stuff I want to run after the terminals get installed." (enable-arrow-keys) (if (or (string= (getenv "TERM") "AT386") (string= (getenv "TERM") "at386") (string= (getenv "TERM") "root_at386")) (progn (global-set-key "\eOT" 'minkey) (global-set-key "\e\e[H" 'beginning-of-buffer) (global-set-key "\e\e[Y" 'end-of-buffer))) (if (or (string= (getenv "TERM") "pro_vt100") (string= (getenv "TERM") "PRO_VT100")) (progn (global-set-key "\eOt" 'minkey) (setq meta-flag t) (global-set-key "\e\e[H" 'beginning-of-buffer) (global-set-key "\e\e[K" 'end-of-buffer))) ) Hope this helps some . . . I'll keep my fingers crossed that I didn't head off on too much of a tangent or embarrass myself too much with my (miss-)understanding of emacs. *************************************************************************** *Rock Kent rock@rancho.uucp POB 8964, Rancho Sante Fe, CA. 92067* ***************************************************************************

Hi Ho, me again: I'd like to get the mh-rmail mode loaded in automagically when I startup emacs. How? Also, the mh-restore-window-config restores to a blank slate - in other words, how do I save a window config for it to return to? I set M-p to jump the cursor up a buffer, but the mh-rmail mode grabs it, even though I've unset it in my .emacs. I assume this is because I load in the mh-rmail via M-x mh-rmail, yes? Would some of you out there be willing to send some interesting .emacs files, so I can scan through them, and answer some of my own questions? Thanks! ................
