Friends,
	I would like to know what is the key combination for
hyppi-expanding in emacs 21.x on windows.  My windows emacs 21.x has
C-/ as the key.  How do I set this key on the Linux Emacs?  Also
generally how do we find the keycombination to any command??

thanks

Never heard of hyppi-expanding and Google gave no lead, what's it?

M-x global-set-key RET C-/ the-function-that-"hyppi-expands" RET

C-h w

C-h C-h  for help on the help commands.

I'm guessing it was a typo and `hippie-expand' was intended.

That would be hippie-expand, and I don't think it's bound by default.
M-/ is bound to dabbrev-expand, though.

Before setting a key like below, I always do "C-h k" then hit the key 
combo I'm planning to map.  This tells me what, if anything, might 
already be mapped to the specified key combo.  In the case of "C-/" 
emacs tells me that:

<emacs>
C-/ runs the command undo
   which is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `simple'.
(undo &optional ARG)

Undo some previous changes.
Repeat this command to undo more changes.
A numeric argument serves as a repeat count.

Just C-u as argument requests selective undo,
limited to changes within the current region.
Likewise in Transient Mark mode when the mark is active.
</emacs>

This means that the mapping below would overwrite a really handy key 
combo. :<

You can better judge whether to overwrite the key combo by considering
what other combinations (what is the plural of combo?) run the
command.

Try C-h w undo or C-h f undo.

!!!  And I type ~1000 lines of code without expand!  BTW that is the
difference between debbrev-expand and hippie-expand, if any?

Aaah!  this is exactly what I wanted to know from a long time!!
Thanks!

even though I tried to bind this particular key-combo to hippie-expand
it did not get bound.  It still did undo work.  But that is OK, as
they now tell me there is M-/ also!


thanks a lot

hippie-expand checks against a list of functions in order to find
possible expansions. dabbrev-expand completes against words already
typed, and can be included in hippie-expand-try-functions-list - to be
precise, `try-expand-dabbrev' is there.
