As for `help-char', one can test it like this: (setq help-char 46) ; was 8 which is C-h (setq help-form (message "help-form executed")) ; was nil and then type a dot (.) - the number for the dot char is 46, which can be confirmed with ascii(1). Type a dot and you'll see "help-form executed" executed on the screen. But then, of course, C-h doesn't work anymore. C-h, or ^H, is 8. Again use ascii, $ ascii '^H' As for [f1], now the functions keys don't work for me in the Linux VT (well, they could, I think, with this method [1], but I don't want them to as to use them would require moving the hands from the beloved asdf and jkl; positions) - but for an X instance of Emacs, it should work inside, outside, and out of the box with the familiar syntax: (global-set-key [f1] #'beginning-of-buffer) [1] https://dataswamp.org/~incal/tty-emacs-keys.txt -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573 https://dataswamp.org/~incal
