Hi Sharon, as others already explained there's no command bound to that combination in vanilla emacs, so you must investigate what other code you use that could possibly do that. I'll just add that there's a good reason emacs doesn't use this "key": there's no ASCII code Control-=, so such a binding will not work in emacs running on a text terminal, including an emulated terminal like xterm. It can only work in a true GUI emacs session where emacs knows about every physical key press and release. For this reason I try to avoid similar bindings in my own code. Even though I always use GUI emacs for normal code editing work, there are special situations when it is not practical. For example I am typing this message in an emacs running on my email server, over a normal ssh terminal connection. It works great, it even looks exactly like my GUI emacs thanks to my choice of faces, but pressing Control-= just enters a = character :-P -- Please *no* private copies of mailing list or newsgroup messages.
