Subject: Looking for the "best" notation for key-binding

Here are examples of key bindings culled from the Emacs FAQ and
emacswiki. Each one seems to use a slightly different notation to
identify the keystroke.
(global-set-key (quote [f1]) (quote help-for-help))
(global-unset-key [?\e?{] )
(global-set-key [f10] [?\C-x?\e?\e?\C-a?\C-k?\C-g])
(global-unset-key "\e[" )
(global-set-key "\C-h" 'delete-backward-char)
(keyboard-translate ?\C-h ?\C-?)
(global-set-key (kbd "C-V") 'somefunction)
(global-set-key (kbd "<f3>") 'comment-dwim)
It's maddening. I've so far been unsuccessful in getting this binding
to work:
(global-set-key (kbd "C-;") 'comment-indent)
It seems to bind the command to the *unmodified* ';'.
Isn't there a single, simple, consistent way to create key bindings that
will always work?
Thanks,
Chap
