Something up with a. Try with some other char, l for example, it works. BTW I realized the ?\ isn't needed, like one does just [l] for a one-element vector.

It is described in the tutorial: https://dataswamp.org/~incal/tty-emacs-keys.txt I you follow the links to the example files, you see I get even very exotic combinations to works, for example Meta Shift Return. That said, let me ask, how do you define a "true modifier" in Emacs? I mean not just for keys that previously don't work, but in general? -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573 https://dataswamp.org/~incal
