Hello,
I'm using emacs23.0.91 packaged by debian, the simple.el defined a key
sequence "C(upercase letter 'c') - m" and the prefix 'C'(upercase letter
'c') prevent me from typing letter 'C'.
I tried to unset the key binding "C - m" locally ,but the prefix is still
there . I looked up functions in elisp manual but there is no function to
unset a prefix key.
Now I have to stop simple.el from loading or to change the debian load
settings of simple.el to comment out the key settings.
So how can I locally unset a prefix key?
Thx

[Changed encoding from Japanese so I could type \ key]
At least in ver. 22.3 all references are to \C-m not to C-m. In what
context can you not type uppercase c?
Is there any place in Emacs where ordinary letter key is a prefix?

Gnus uses letters as prefixes in group and summary buffer, e.g.
A M gnus-group-list-all-matching
D u gnus-sieve-update
H v gnus-version
M U gnus-group-unmark-all-groups
S s gnus-group-unsubscribe-group
T DEL gnus-topic-delete
A f A gnus-group-list-flush
G P r gnus-group-sort-selected-groups-by-rank
T S s gnus-topic-sort-groups
T M-n gnus-topic-goto-next-topic
W f mmh, quizz time. Can you tell without looking at the man ?
And that's just a sample from the group buffer. I think gnus uses all
ordinary letters as prefixes... There are probably other read-only
modes that use ordinary letter keys as prefixes. Indeed these modes
often drop the modifier key for their shortcuts ; slightly bending the
meaning of a prefix key, typing "s word" in view-mode will search forward
for word in buffer.
