Whenever I press it, Emacs responds by beeping and printing “ is undefined”. I can suppress this by global-set-keying it to 'ignore, but this does not turn it off completely. In particular: * Hitting the key still interrupts Isearch, which is very annoying. * M-Nav, C-Nav and C-M-Nav also need to be 'ignored, which does not seem very elegant to me. * Messages appearing in the echo area are nuked when I press Nav (this is minor, of course, but you get the idea). So, I’m looking for a way to make Emacs completely forget about the key, to make it as no-oppy as Shift, Ctrl, etc., but I simply can’t find out how to do this on my own. Could anyone give me a clue?
