Similar for any other special key whose macro =20 notation are bracketed by angle brackets. e.g. , , =20 , , etc. Where, emacs puts the entire thing inside =20 angle brackets instead of the more traditional of modifier followed =20 by dash followed by key name. Although these are identical as far as kbd function is concerned, but =20= wouldn't it be more intuitively consistent by using C- instead =20 of ? Thanks. Xah =E2=88=91 http://xahlee.org/ =E2=98=84
