Thanks. But I still don't understand, I guess. What does the question have to do with the release? I'm not asking about any Emacs 23 or future features, AFAIK. Users in any release can presumably use input methods and change the quit character from C-g, no? And if they do that, then my hard-coded binding of C-g won't pick up their key, right? I thought I was asking a general, release-independent question. What am I missing?
