Changing keybinding of C-return under CUA mode

Changing keybinding of C-return under CUA mode

[fcsaszar]

Hello,

I want to change the keybinding to start marking a rectangle in CUA
mode from C-return to C-.

But it seems that this keybinding cannot be unset with "M-x
global-unset-key" (after exceuting this, C-return continues working as
usual). Any idea on how to accomplish this?

I am using Emacs 22.0.50.1.

Thanks,

Felipe

CUA uses 'private' keymaps:

   (define-key cua--rectangle-keymap [(control return)] 'cua-clear- 
rectangle-mark)
   (define-key cua--region-keymap    [(control return)] 'cua-toggle- 
rectangle-mark)

But for some reason, this also does not work. I added the following to
my .emacs:

(add-hook 'cua-mode-hook
          '(lambda ()
             (define-key cua--rectangle-keymap (kbd "C-.")
'cua-clear-rectangle-mark)
             (define-key cua--region-keymap    (kbd "C-.")
'cua-toggle-rectangle-mark)
             )
          )

And now says that C-. is undefined. Any ideas?

Thanks,

Finally, after some trial and error and the help of Kim F. Storm, it
worked. The code necessary is this:

(add-hook 'cua-mode-hook
          '(lambda ()
             (define-key cua--rectangle-keymap (kbd "C-.")
'cua-clear-rectangle-mark)
             (define-key cua--region-keymap    (kbd "C-.")
'cua-toggle-rectangle-mark)
             (define-key cua-global-keymap     (kbd "C-.")
'cua-set-rectangle-mark)

             (define-key cua--rectangle-keymap [(control return)] nil)
             (define-key cua--region-keymap    [(control return)] nil)
             (define-key cua-global-keymap     [(control return)] nil)
             )
          )
(cua-mode t)


I am posting this here because it may be useful for others. Regards,

Actually, following you suggestion, this is much simpler with an
up-to-date CVS emacs:

  M-x customize-option RET cua-rectangle-mark-key RET 

  Click on the input field, erase what's there and enter C-q C-.

  Then click "Save for Future"...
