(and neither is the > same as what's written in (kbd "...")). All of those seem to work: (global-set-key (kbd "M-RET") 'find-file-at-line) ; 1 (global-set-key "\M-\r" 'find-file-at-line) ; 2 (global-set-key [?\M-\r] 'find-file-at-line) ; 3 But another thing, when you do (global-set-key [M-RET] 'find-file-at-line) it says (error "To bind the key M-RET, use \"\\M-\\r\", not [M-RET]") - that should indicate "\M-\r", right? (example 2) So why does the [...] syntax recommend the "..." syntax, if the "..." is the one outdated/incomplete and [...] the one modern/universal? -- underground experts united: http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573
