Subject: Compare recent-keys to [home], [end], etc?
Date: Sat, 4 Aug 2012 20:37:03 -0700 (PDT)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <d73a60ec-238f-47dc-8366-4548b7f6aeb7@googlegroups.com> (raw)

How can I tell whether a key in recent-keys is the [home] key?

I get the key and test it with the following:

    (let ( (lastkey
             (let* ((recent-keys (recent-keys))
                    (keys-length (length recent-keys))
                   )
                   (aref recent-keys (- keys-length (length (this-command-keys)) 1))
             )
           )
         )
      (if (= lastkey <how do I designate the [home] key here?> )  ... )
      ...
    )

I've experimented by using the letter A instead of [home], i.e. with (if (= lastkey 65) ... ).  That works if lastkey is 'A', but gives the error "Wrong type argument" if lastkey is [home], [end], or similar.

Is there something I can use in that "if" statement so that I can compare anything in recent-keys to [home]?
