According to describe-key, C-g is bound to keyboard-quit. When I bind C-q to keyboard-quit, it does NOT give me the same behavior as C-g. If I hit M-x, then C-q, the word "Quit" appears in the minibuffer (just as with C-g), but the minibuffer does not go away (and it still has focus; i.e. nothing happened). So next I tried keyboard-escape-quit. Works just as C-g for quitting from the minibuffer, but if I hit it when in the normal mode, I get a backtrace error: "Cannot return from the debugger in an error". Any ideas? Does anyone else see this behavior? thanks -Matt
