I think it means Alt-3 in XEmacs. But I don't know for sure. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread

It means the character 3 (code 51, #o63, #x33, U+0033) instead of the integer 3. So [(alt ?3)] is the same as [?\A-3]; i.e. hold down the Alt key and press the 3 key. See the "Changing Key Bindings" node of the Emacs Lisp manual. -- Kevin Rodgers Denver, Colorado, USA ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread
