Setting Keyboard bindings for C-Right

Setting Keyboard bindings for C-Right

[the matt]

Hello,

Any help in translating "ESC [ 1 ; 5 C" into an emacs keybinding would
be much appreciated.

I know this comes up frequently, so really what I need is to know how
to input my key bindings for C-Right for emacs -nw in my terminal

Output of view-losses for C-Right
ESC [ 1 ; 5 C

I've tried  the following (and a few other variations to no avail)

(define-key function-key-map "\eO1;5C" [C-right])
(global-set-key [(C-right)] 'forward-word)

Any help in translating "ESC [ 1 ; 5 C" into an emacs keybinding would
be much appreciated.

System:  Emacs 21.4.1
               Fedora FC5
               <generic keyboard>
Thanks

Matt

This works for me:
(global-set-key [(control right)] 'forward-word)

I agree that it works well  in an X system. :)

Try emacs -nw  and it won't work because C-right isn't interpreted the
same

You can see this for yourself by running M-x view-losses (C-h l ) and
you will see the difference between the two.

You could look into xterm.el – it has lines like:

	(define-key map "\e[1;5C" [C-right])

The whole block, starting with

	(let ((map (make-sparse-keymap)))

has a comment

	;; xterm from X.org 6.8.2 uses these key definitions.

and ends with

       ;; Use inheritance to let the main keymap override those  
defaults.
       ;; This way we don't override terminfo-derived settings or  
settings
       ;; made in the .emacs file.
       (set-keymap-parent map (keymap-parent function-key-map))
       (set-keymap-parent function-key-map map))


Could be it's worth to patch <your terminal>.el with the 300 lines  
from xterm.el.

Thanks Pete,

That's the pointer that I was needing
In the end I added the following to my .emacs file
(right, wrong or indiferent, it's what I did, and where I put it):

(define-key function-key-map "\e[1;5C" [C-
right])
(define-key function-key-map "\e[1;5D" [C-
left])
(global-set-key [(C-right)] 'forward-
word)
(global-set-key [(C-left)] 'backward-word)


Thanks again,

Matt
