But it's not necessary to refer to that question or what its correct interpretation is. The request is to index coverage of the Escape key, that is, places where we talk about . It's not obvious that you need to ask `i' about and not (alternatively) about the "Escape" key. There should be an entry "Escape key ()" or similar. > I've reviewed the places where we mention the ESC key in the manual, > and I don't see there anything worth indexing under "Escape". Sorry. Too bad. That's what some users (including me, in this context, even though I know about ) will look for, to find info about the key Emacs calls .
