Subject: how to map F5 to emacs's C-x and ignore cua-mode?
Date: Sun, 17 Apr 2011 13:37:42 -0700 (PDT)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <6d68e4fd-ad78-4979-bd2a-10f5d53a5169@f15g2000pro.googlegroups.com> (raw)

if i want to set F5 to emacs's C-x and F6 to emacs's C-c, how to do
that?

i know i can use key-translation-map or function-key-map, something
like
(define-key key-translation-map (kbd "<f5>") "<C-x>")

but i also want it so that if cua-mode is on, it unconditionally do
emacs's C-x, not cut.

i thought it's something like this

(defun f5-Cx ()
  "DOCSTRING"
  (interactive)
  (let (cuaModeState cua-mode)
    (cua-mode 0)
    ;; type C-x here
    (if cuaModeState (cua-mode 1) (cua-mode 0))
    ))
)

but not sure how to do the “type C-x” there. Even so, not sure the
whole would work.

Thanks.

 Xah
