Re: How get escape sequence generated by keyboard shortcut in Emacs?

Ah; in that case, I'm not sure you can do it. I think that such low-level information probably doesn't make it to emacs; it's interpreted by the OS first. Maybe someone can correct me if I'm wrong. "Shortcuts" like <backspace> seem to be as low-level as emacs gets.
