C-m gives RET

C-m gives RET

[Florian Kaufmann]

Hello

(describe-key-briefly) on C-m tells me "RET runs the command newline".
How can I tell Emacs that I want C-m to be C-m and not RET? Same thing
for C-i and TAB.

I found keyboard-translate, but as expected
(keyboard-translate ?\C-m ?\C-m)
doesn't help.

I just downloaded GNU Emacs binary for windows. I have a US-
International keyboard.
(version) returns "GNU Emacs 22.0.94.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600) of
2007-02-25 on LENNART-69DE564 (patched)". I didn't had this problem
when I was using XEmacs for windows.

I think that's lower-level than emacs.

But then why did it work in XEmacs? And in all the other applications?

Could it be a question of TERM definition/usage ?
I am not an expert at all when it comes to ASCII or escape
sequences :)

I think RET and TAB are Emacs' names for C-m and C-I. Try C-h k with as
input C-m and Return, and C-I and Tab, respectively. 
RET runs the command newline vs.
RET (translated from <return>) runs the command newline

I think so.  For xterm, one can use xterm-extras.el at
http://www.dur.ac.uk/p.j.heslin/Software/Emacs/.  The author also gives
a .Xresources file, showing how to make xterm send the right escape
codes.
