How do I do that? You can't, exactly: that would mean that `C-u 1' is a prefix key, but `C-u' is already bound to universal-argument (which is a binding you want to retain -- trust me). But if you mean that you want to be able to type C-down instead of `C-u 1 C-v', then the simplest thing is to define a keyboard macro: (global-set-key [C-down] (kbd "C-u 1 C-v")) > As a starting point I tried: (global-set-key [C-down] 'scroll-up), but > that doesn't seem to do even a simple scroll-up. When I do C-h a for > scroll-up, the keybinding shows up, but it doesn't seem to work. That ought to work, but perhaps a local key binding is shadowing the global binding. What happens if you type `C-h k' followed by C-down? What does `C-h l' show immediately after that? -- Kevin Rodgers
