If you use X11, you can bind it to a physical key if you know its keycode with the line: keycode 78 = Find in ~/.Xmodmap You can also ignore it, since with emacs you can bind any key to a command. So assuming you want to be able to search-forward by typing just: C-c C-s you can put: (global-set-key (kbd "C-c C-s") 'search-forward) in ~/.emacs, or for temporarily try it out: M-x global-set-key RET C-c C-s search-forward RET Then if you type: C-h w search-forward RET you should see the added key binding. -- __Pascal Bourguignon__ http://www.informatimago.com/
