Subject: bug#52448: key-valid-p vs "C-M-x" and "ESC C-x"
Date: Sun, 12 Dec 2021 00:17:48 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CADwFkmmffgDjdVi+LokWA7cbq9UkBsfp6f0B=298b2BJhNBPZA@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
AFAIU, we want exactly one valid way to write keybindings with
`key-valid-p'. Should both of these be `key-valid-p'?
1. (key-description (kbd "ESC C-x"))
=> "C-M-x"
(key-valid-p "ESC C-x")
=> t
2. (key-description (kbd "C-M-x"))
=> "C-M-x"
(key-valid-p "C-M-x")
=> t
However, there is also this, and the comment at the top of keymap.c:
(kbd "ESC C-x")
=> "^[^X"
(kbd "M-C-x")
=> [134217752]
