Hello,

Sorry for the noob question...

I see the following lines in this sample emacs file and I wonder what
that means:

(local-set-key "\C-cj" 'fast-jump)

What is the key combination required here to initiate the fast-jump
method. I am confused by the \C-parameter.

Thanks,

Luca

ok, I figured it out. \C-c stands for control c

Instead of that syntax you can use the `kbd' macro:

  "\C-cj" ==> (kbd "C-c j")

The kbd macro accepts the key syntax that is used in the emacs docs and
which is also shown by the help commands like `describe-key'.

Bye,
Tassilo
