Want to rebind C-i

Want to rebind C-i

[Boris H.]

Hi,

I have

(global-unset-key "\C-i")
(global-unset-key [tab])
(global-set-key [delete] 'delete-char)

and

;--- Ispell ---
(global-set-key "\C-ii" 'ispell)
(global-set-key "\C-iw" 'ispell-word)
(global-set-key "\C-id" 'ispell-change-dictionary)

in my .emacs.

This worked in Emacs 20.7, but it doesn't in Emacs 21.1; C-i is always 
recognized as TAB. What to do?

Regards,

Boris

I think you need to make a keymap for TAB, like this:

(global-unset-key [tab])
(setq tab-keymap (make-sparse-keymap))
(define-key global-map [tab] tab-keymap)
(define-key tab-keymap (kbd "i") 'ispell)

Cheers,

Edric.

Hi Edric,

I've just tried this and got an error message. 

What does the above code do? Is there a way to just remove the binding of 
C-i to TAB?

Regards,

Boris

Doh! What was the error message? It worked for me....

It was my understanding that to make a multiple-key binding, you need
to make a keymap first (line 2), bind that to the first key of the
sequence (line 3 - in this case - tab), and then add the other keys of
the binding (line 4). So, to add your other stuff, you'd do more
modified copies of line 4.

Hmm. I don't really know where the C-i <--> TAB stuff happens, sorry.

Edric.

(keyboard-translate ?\C-i ?\H-i)
(keyboard-translate ?\C-m ?\H-m)
(global-set-key [?\H-i] 'insert-file)
(global-set-key [?\H-m] 'start-or-end-macro-def)
