I now understand the reason. While I understand that C-TAB won't be available in emacs in console mode, I have found a roundabout way to enable console mode emacs to receive C-TAB key. I now have the following in my .emacs: --------------------------- (define-key function-key-map [(f12)] 'event-apply-control-modifier) (global-set-key (kbd "C-TAB") 'other-window) --------------------------- Of course, this is not a solution to the problem, just for my satisfaction :-) BTW, is there any way to represent C-TAB using [()] representation instead of using kbd? I tried but nothing seems to work. @Pascal Bourguignon: Thanks for the link. It was very informative. Regards, Santanu Chatterjee
