Emacs Under X: <print>

Emacs Under X: <print>

[T.V Raman]

On my laptop running X and stumpwm ie none of the Gnome magic loaded:

The  second key to the right of the spacebar delivers <print> to
Emacs.

I'd like to change this to Super_L  modifier if possible; is there
some way of figuring out the keycode it delivers from the emacs side?
Note; the "obvious" X answer, use xev wont work for me since I cannot
see ...

Maybe type *C-h k* and then type the key you wish to use, Emacs will
display the key name and whatever is associated with this key.

That's what shows the <print> :-)

The answer to my problem was to use xmodmap -pk | grep -i print.

Dont know where the angle-brackets in <print> come from which is what
tripped up my original attempt at solving the question which in its
turned initited the question.

Have you tried the settings below?

(global-set-key [print]       'one-function-to-print)
(global-set-key [C-print]     'other-function-to-print)
(global-set-key [C-M-print]   'another-function-to-print)

In my laptop:

   - [print] is the PrtScr key
   - [C-print] is the Control+PrtScr combination
   - [C-M-print] is the Control+Alt+PrtScr combination

Using C-h k:

   - PrtScr is shown as <print>
   - Control+PrtScr is shown as C-<print>
   - Control+Alt+PrtScr is shown as C-M-<print>

BTW, my settings are very old, use keymap-global-set instead of
global-set-key, and use keymap-local-set instead of local-set-key.

See also the documentation of key-valid-p, probably you could use "<print>"
instead of [print].

Not just could, but should, with keymap-global-set:

    (kbd "<print>")

is "the function key 'printʼ"

    (kbd "[print]")

is "the vector of characters 'print'"

Thanks all.

Note that my specific use-case needed to go dig out the keycode from X
because I wanted to change the <print> key to be a modifier (Super_R) in
my case; I have now solved that issue.

No idea how to do this with Emacs alone.

But when I run xev from *shell*, type <print> and then close the xev X
window with my normal key binding for closing X windows (which
terminates xev), the two <print> key events (press and release) are the
second and third last listed in the output and displayed near the end of
the *shell* buffer (starting with around line 24 before the end of the
buffer).  I guess that could be doable without seeing?  The xev window
gets input focus automatically here, so it starts interpreting and
recording you key events directly after starting the command in *shell*.
