unreading a prefix key

unreading a prefix key

[rgb]

When I press [C-apps] I want it to be the same as pressing [?\C-\S-c].
I do something similar with [apps] being the same as [?\C-x] like this:
(global-set-key [apps]     (lookup-key global-map [?\C-x]))

I've tried lots of things but since C-c is defined in mode keymaps
rather than the global map the solution isn't as straightforward.
Complicating things, C-apps isn't a 'normal' key so this doesn't
work

(keyboard-translate C-apps ?\C-\S-c)

My initial thoughts were that this should work.

(global-set-key [C-apps]   (lambda ()(interactive)
                             (push [?\C-\S-c] unread-command-events)))

But it doesn't and I don't see any clue why in the doc.
Any ideas on how this can be done?

Thanks

Thanks to Kevin Rodgers, who, in this post

pointed me to this solution which does seem to work.

(define-key function-key-map [C-apps] [?\C-\S-c])
