Re: in which keymap to set SIGUSR-handler

Re: in which keymap to set SIGUSR-handler

[Shynur Xie]

The second one doesn't work:

    (keymap-global-set "<signal> <usr1>"
                       (lambda ()
                         (interactive)
                         (message "-*-*-*-")))
    (signal-process (emacs-pid) 'sigusr1)

Am I missing something?

emacs-version: 30.0.50
system-configuration: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu

If you are sure you did everything right, submit a bug report.

in which keymap to set SIGUSR-handler

[Shynur Xie]

Hi, friends.  I'm reading the elisp manual.  In 22.7.12 Miscellaneous
System Events
(<https://gnu.org/s/emacs/manual/html_node/elisp/Misc-Events.html>),
there's a sample code about SIGUSR:

    (keymap-set special-event-map "<sigusr1>" 'sigusr-handler)

In 22.7.13 Event Examples
(<https://gnu.org/s/emacs/manual/html_node/elisp/Event-Examples.html>)
there's another one:

    (keymap-global-set "<signal> <usr1>" 'usr1-handler)

Which one should I use in my init file?  Thanks in advance.

They should both work.  Did you try?

Try this:

;;; -*- lexical-binding: t -*-
;;
;; this file:
;;   https://dataswamp.org/~incal/emacs-init/signal.el
;;
;; test from Emacs:
;;   (signal-process (emacs-pid) 'sigusr1)
;;
;; test from zsh:
;;   $ kill -s usr1 $(pidof emacs)

(defun signal-usr1-f ()
  (interactive)
  (message "USR1 signal") )

(define-key special-event-map [sigusr1] #'signal-usr1-f)

(provide 'signal)
