I've tried the following in my dotfile: (global-set-key "." ". ") But, this does not work. I get the following error in the mode-line: After 0 kbd macro iterations: Variable binding depth exceeds max-specpdl-size This is only a problem when I use the same character in the new string that I am trying to set globally. That is, if I used: (global-set-key "p" ". ") it works fine. Any suggestion?
