Binding C-x C-RET ?

Binding C-x C-RET ?

[Bastien]

How do you bind C-x C-<RET> to a function ?

(global-set-key "\C-x\C-\\r" 'execute-extended-command) 

binds the function to C-x C-\ r with is not what i expected...

I thought i need to escape "\r" the same way "\C" is escaped.

... not working here.  I don't have any backtrace, since Emacs behaves
normally when evaluating the global-set-key function.

Can you reproduce that ?

Thank you very much - i should have figured that out by myself...

Well, \\ is a backslash.  You'd better write "\C-x\C-\r".  However,
this is not legal, as \C-\r is not a proper character and thus can't
be part of a string.  But you could write

(global-set-key (kbd "C-x C-RET") 'execute-extended-command)

instead.  This will only work in a window system, not on a tty, of
course, since C-RET still is not a proper character.

Ok, so it was

(global-set-key (kbd "C-x <C-return>") 'execute-extended-command)

Sue me.

In short, you write in quotes what C-h k C-x C-RET spews back at you.
