Subject: keybinding with shift key syntax. C-S-n vs C-N
Date: Mon, 15 Sep 2008 02:59:37 -0700 (PDT)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <e0479fe3-0c8a-45c4-b99f-743878b02347@z6g2000pre.googlegroups.com> (raw)

This seems to be a bug.

i'm trying to set keybindings for both Ctrl+n and Ctrl+Shift+n, by:
(global-set-key (kbd "C-N") 'f1)
(global-set-key (kbd "C-n") 'f2)

however, that doesn't work.

Emacs will take both Ctrl+Shift+n and Ctrl+Shift+n to be whichever is
evaluated last. In this case, f2.

But the following works:

(global-set-key (kbd "C-S-n") 'f1)
(global-set-key (kbd "C-n") 'f2)

This seems to contradict with Meta's ways. That is (kbd "M-N") works
but not (kbd "M-S-n").

I filed a bug but no response. Can anyone reproduce this?
