Hi Stefan,
Thank you very much for your response.
| AFAIK, you cannot set it globally.
|
Then, could we make it a request for a new feature?
We could even say that the keyboard-translate functionality
is partially broken because it sometimes works and sometimes
doesn't (Please recall my example).
| You can arrange to set it in every
| terminal (by putting (keyboard-translate ?\C-h ?\C-?) on some
| hook whose name escapes me), tho.
That sounds promising.
| Still, I wonder: why would you want to set such a mapping
| everywhere?
|
I'm not sure if I understand your question. . . . If you want
a keyboard translation, you'd want it everywhere consistently,
wouldn't you?
In this particular case, I want C-h to delete the character
before the cursor anywhere and everywhere (when deleting
characters makes sense, that is. You don't want to delete
characters on a webpage displayed by a webbrowser,
for example). That's natural for a person like me
who instinctively types C-h to delete.
I used to use
(global-set-key "\C-h" 'delete-backward-char)
instead of keyboard-translate. But, as of emacs23, C-h invokes
a help-like feature in the incremental search even with the
setting above.
So, I think keyboard-translate is the cleanest,
once-and-for-all solution, if it works globally.
Best regards,
Ryo
