Message-ID: <87wrbbaap6.fsf@Compaq.site> (raw)

For one reason or another C-M-k does not work in gnus-summary-mode. I
tried the following:
    (define-key gnus-summary-mode-map [?\C-?\M-k]
      'gnus-summary-kill-thread)

But this gives:
    Debugger entered--Lisp error: (invalid-read-syntax "?")
      read(#<buffer *scratch*>)
      preceding-sexp()
      eval-last-sexp-1(nil)
      eval-last-sexp(nil)
      call-interactively(eval-last-sexp nil nil)

When I use:
    (define-key gnus-summary-mode-map [?\C-?\M-k]
      'gnus-summary-kill-thread)

I do not get an error, but the key combination does not work also.
What is the correct way to define the key combination?
