conflict of kex-bindings of different modes?

conflict of kex-bindings of different modes?

[David Andel]

Hi

When running emacs-wiki mode 'C-c C-S-d' should do 
'emacs-wiki-delete-link-at-point' but it doesn't do anything. The command 
itself works though, so it's just the key-binding which doesn't.

What can I do about this?

Thanks,
David

Well, I don't use emacs-wiki, but maybe C-h w tells you another key to
press?  And C-h k can tell you what the key sequence does.  C-h b
gives a list of bindings.

Does this help?

Thanks for the tips.

C-h w gives "emacs-wiki-delete-link-at-point is on C-c C-S-d"
C-h k and pressing C-c C-S-d gives "C-c C-d is undefined"

It seems not possible to get a "C-D". Shift is just being ignored when
pressed together with Ctrl.

Current theory: there is a bug in the *.el file with binding that
key.

For example, I just did

        M-: (global-set-key [C-a C-b] 'foo) RET

And now C-h C-b prints

        <C-a> <C-b>	foo

Here, you can see that it is interpreting the keys as a sequence of
funnily-named function keys.  (You can see from the <...>.)

But in older versions of Emacs, you would have seen

        C-c C-b         foo

instead, and would've been none the wiser.

The correct Lisp would have been:

    M-: (global-set-key [?\C-a ?\C-b] 'foo) RET

Can you look in the *.el file to see how it is defining the keys?
