Thanks! I have managed to get the key bound. That had been annoying me for ages. In case anybody else has the same problem, it was: (global-set-key (quote [27 left]) 'beginning-of-line) I cannot bind [(alt v)], yet I can bind [(meta v)], which makes sense since it says "Alt .... available only under X" at http://www.cs.uu.nl/wais/html/na-dir/GNU-Emacs-FAQ/part4.html I'd love to know why meta didn't work with arrow keys though.
