Subject: custom keyboard layout? howto redefine keys?
Date: Thu, 9 Apr 2009 16:40:56 -0700 (PDT) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <84995d58-0858-4762-b317-8935fdfafcf9@f19g2000yqo.googlegroups.com> (raw)
Is there a way to customize the keyboard layout within emacs? For
example if I want "the key on my keyboard labeled 'a' behave like
that labeled 'b' I think the code for my .emacs file should be
something like this:
(global-set-key ["Key labeled 'a' on my keyboard"] 'ucs-insert 0062)
I am new to emacs and don't know what the correct syntax for "Key
labeled 'a' on my keyboard' could be.
So I tried to make f5 instead behave like b:
(global-set-key [f5] 'ucs-insert 0062)
Then I get an error message: "Wrong type argument: commandp, (ucs-
insert 62)" if I restart emacs and press f5.
(For example (global-set-key [f1] 'ucs-insert) works, but then it
asks which UTF-8 character I want to insert, that's not what I want)
Any ideas?
thanks
nic
