Subject: double angled brackets in kbd: <<cmd>>
Date: Wed, 31 Jan 2024 16:18:09 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87r0hx33r6.fsf@t-online.de> (raw)

Hi,

while reading the definition of `key-parse' I noticed, that the `kbd'
function converts strings enclosed in double angled brackets into a
the key strokes for an `execute-extended-command'.

(equal (kbd "<<my-command>>")
       (kbd "M-x my-command\r"))
-> t

I wonder, what is the use-case for these double angled brackets?

Olaf
