We've done some work here mapping the function keys of Sun 3/60 workstations to various useful Emacs functions. Up till now we've been running emacstool, but we will soon be using X Windows. How do I map functions keys in X? In particular, how can I use the same key map for X as I do for emacstool? If you choose to reply, please assume you're talking to a complete novice at both X and Emacs. Although we have successfully bound our function keys (mostly by hacking at the suntool-map in sun.el using the define-key function, I don't really understand why the stuff we did works. For example, how does emacs know what keymap to use? When and where is it loaded, and by what instruction?
