Re: Binding Non-standard Keyboard Keys

[Dan Anderson <dan@mathjunkies.com>]

I tried global-set-key and got some interesting results.  Keys which
don't show up under C-h c appear as other keys.  For instance, one is
C-z, another is <mouse-2>, etc.  But they don't seem to have the effect
of those keys.  I press them and KDE goes bonkers.
