I've tried to bind c-~ and c-` using incantations including "\C-~",
[(control ...)], and simply doing M-x local-set-key and pasting the
rather cryptic (local-set-key (quote [67108960]) (quote ignore)).
That last trick has always worked to bind things I couldn't figure out
how to bind, but not this time.
Carbon Emacs. 22.1.
Thanks.

Perhaps "kbd" function helps? (kbd "C-`") returns [67108960] so you
could do:
(global-set-key (kbd "C-`") 'do-this)
(global-set-key (kbd "C-~") 'do-that)

That works. Thank you.
The only remaining issue is C-F1, but that is probably an OS thing,
since emacs doesn't recognize it.

On WinXP I use:
(global-set-key [C-~] 'foo-bar)
(global-set-key [C-M-~] 'baz)
Maybe it will work for you, too?

What does C-h k say when, and view-lossage say after, you press it?
It's <C-f1> in the native emacs here, but ``ESC [ 1 1 ^'' via a
screen session in a terminal, and simply not a recognised keypress
at all from the console. For this reason, you might want to not
rely on binding any function to such a key if you're ever likely
to change environment.
Of course, if you look at the traditional meaning of the 'control'
modifier, it only makes sense for a-z and a handful of other characters.
That emacs is able to capture keyboard events and recognise combinations
which have no intrinsic meaning outside emacs is nice when you can always
rely on it, but an annoyance when you're suddently placed at a console
which doesn't provide emacs the same level of control.

I tried the Vista speech recognition by running the tutorial. I was
amazed, it was awesome, recognised every word I said. Then I said the
wrong word ... and it typed the right one. It was actually just
detecting a sound and printing the expected word! -- pbhj on /.

The key is not recognized by emacs.
Not intending to use it for purposes where I would rely on it on a
console, of course.
This isn't a huge problem.

That shouldn't work for anyone, since ~ is not a function key. I think
you meant to write:
(global-set-key [?\C-~] 'foo-bar)
(global-set-key [?\C-\M-~] 'baz)

And yet it works, on 22.2.1 and 21.x on Win2k and WinXP. I guess I
got lucky. And I just tried it on 22.1.1 on Ubuntu and it works, too.
