You must be running emacs without a window system (or under a window system, but with the -nw command line option). In an xterm on my platform (i386-pc-solaris2.7, X toolkit), `C-h k M-kp-multiply' shows | ESC * runs the command pop-tag-mark and then `C-h l' shows | C-h k ESC * C-h l The odd thing is that function-key-map contains this entry (kp-multiply . [42]) but no escape sequence that maps to [kp-multiply] in the way that `ESC [ 1 1 ~' is bound to [f1] or `ESC O p' is bound to [kp-1]. > I do *not* want to use global-set-key but am looking for > a general way to remap non-ascii input events.

Since setting function-key-map and key-translation-map do not change the results reported by `C-h k' and `C-h l', I don't think they have anything to do with it: I think it means that the xterm is actually sending `*' to Emacs, not an escape sequence. > Trying an approach with keyboard-translate drives me nuts because > it does not seem to support non-ascii events. What do you want to do? It seems like you want to bind M-kp-multiply to a different command, but for some reason you don't want to use global-set-key like this: (global-set-key "\M-*" 'whatever) -- Kevin Rodgers paul wrote: > I've nearly pulled out my hair for the following problem; > I want to translate M-kp-multiply to M-* *BEFORE* the key > gets bound to its default function (in my case pop-tag-mark).
