Introduced with C-h k you can then type some key combination. GNU Emacs = will then describe in echo-area ("mini-buffer") that this key = combination is not bound to a function or open a *Help* buffer and = display the documentation of the function which is bound to the typed = key combination. In X11 you have the utility xev which will explain which X events you = have produced by pressing some keys. Maybe Alt+Shift+< does not produce = anything... When you run GNU Emacs in some terminal you do not send any X event to = GNU Emacs, only ASCII codes (see "man ascii"). -< and = --<, pressed sequentially as first and then either < = or >, *will* produce the proper input for GNU Emacs, while pressing = Alt+< or Alt+Shift+< *might* produce 8-bit control characters, but what = the terminal emulation sends to the programme is not determined because = a mapping, established via an X resource for example, might not exist. I'm not using Arch Linux. -- Greetings Pete I love deadlines. I love the whooshing noise they make as they go by. =96 Douglas Adams
