Subject: Does code exist to check if a key sequence is valid for Emacs running in terminal mode?
Date: Fri, 12 Jul 2024 08:14:52 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CALTqLiZk7-RaPwtTkW=QB9frPS=wZJXtoz5_bZtjeQkQ36Z9Kw@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

 Hi all,

Does Emacs already have a predicate function that can be used to check if
the specified key sequence is valid for Emacs running in terminal mode?

For example, "C-;" is not accessible on Emacs running in terminal mode
because this is not an ASCII control character. It's available for Emacs
running in graphical environment, but not in terminal mode.

Is there something similar already available or one would simply wrap
describe-key and catch the error to check?

Regards,

--
