C-w is used by all major modes, via global-map, and you overwrote that binding. I have to admit, I don't see how is C-w better than the default binding (M-DEL), but I don't suppose any C-c LETTER binding (which are reserved for users) will be to your liking. Why not bind the key that was originally bound to backward-kill-word (M-DEL) to kill-region? > Also, I'd like to bind C-J and C-K to '(' and ')'. Is there a way to > do this? Sure: (global-set-key "\C-j" "(") ; or [?\C-j] or (kbd "C-j") or ... (global-set-key "\C-k" ")") ; or [?\C-k] or (kbd "C-k") or ... -- Kevin Rodgers Denver, Colorado, USA
