It has to match: the event is decoded with keyboard-coding-system whereas the define-key statement is decoded via the .emacs file's coding system. > How is locale-coding-system relevant to this at all? IIRC in some circumstances Emacs uses it to decode keyboard input (IIRC this is not the case any more in Emacs-22, but I wouldn't bet on it). Stefan
