Hi all,
All my global-set-key work fine, except
(global-set-key [f6] 'other-window)
It is undefined once my emacs has started. (GNU Emacs 23.2.1
(i386-redhat-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.21.4)
I have no error listed in *Messages* and keys settings or commands
placed below in the .emacs are OK. Only F6 is not bound.
Manually evaluating the above expression directly in my .emacs with
CTRL-x CTRL-e works fine though.
I have no clue...
Cheers,

something else overrides your setting?
what happens if you put it at the end of .emacs?
what do you see after hitting F6 and then C-h k?

this should've been: F6 then C-h l
but you can also try C-h k f6

Thanks a lot Bernardo for your suggestions.
I restart emacs to cancel manual key assignment:
F6 output:
<f6> is undefined
F6 C-h l output:
<f6> C-h l
C-h k F6 output:
<f6> is undefined
My other global-set-key work fine from site-start.el. Now if i put the
(global-set-key [f6] 'other-window) at the end of .emacs as you
suggested, IT WORKS! though I'd bet I tried it before (my .emacs has
changed since then). I'll try to spot the offending command.
I once had a similar problem on Fedora 14 due to a
/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/default.el
which was loaded after .emacs.
However this had been fixed using
(setq inhibit-default-init t)
and my default.el file is empty anyway.
Cheers,
Alexandre

Have you tried it interactively? With C-x ESC ESC you can recall the command and see whether F6 really is F6...

The offending command is:
(cua-selection-mode nil)
If I define f6 before this call, it ends up undefined.

That's odd: "grep f6 lisp/emulation/cua*.el" doesn't return anything.
