Subject: Alt Vs. Esc
Date: Thu, 28 Aug 2014 16:21:44 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20140829002144.GA15079@mail.akwebsoft.com> (raw)
I used emacs years ago, and I am now reacquainting myself with it.
I'm using version 24 on Ubuntu 12.04 64-bit on a Mac Mini with the
classic gnome and fluxbox desktops.
I also expect to be using emacs whilst secure shelling into the
machine above from a netbook using lubuntu/fluxbox.
This topic has - I'm sure - already been covered, so I would be
happy with URIs to discussions on the topic or paths to info/help.
If I run emacs from gnome-terminal where I have mapped alt-(1 - n) to
tab-(1 - n), then I still get digit-argument where I use Esc-(1 -
n). That's a good thing.....
I note also that emacs distinguishes between binding (as an example)
Alt-F9 and Esc-F9, that's all good too.
Can I expect these configurations to be portable?
Any other discussions related to this topic are of interest to me
also. (See paragraph 3 above).
thanks
