Thx. --- Suppose I have this: (defcustom the-key [(meta ?\ )] "...") (define-key my-map the-key 'the-cmd)) A user might customize which key sequence is bound to `the-cmd'. What :type is appropriate for the defcustom? I don't see a type ready-made for key sequences. Just `string'? Or is a `choice' of `string' and (what kind of?) `vector' appropriate? How can the :type allow for any key sequence (besides using just `sexp')? Thx.
