Possible to bind C-o to some function in an ansi-term? (Add something to term-mode-hook?)

Possible to bind C-o to some function in an ansi-term? (Add something to term-mode-hook?)

I don't ansi-term is a special beast so any tips on how this may
be possible would be most appreciated.

Sincerely,

Chris

What is an ansi-term?

I can bind C-o the normal way with no problem.

Try M-x ansi-term

It's a Emacs terminal that accepts the ansi-terminal escape sequences.

I think the OP may need to do the binding in term-mode-hook.
But I confess, I don't really understand term.el and
I haven't tried.
It has a term-mode-map and some other maps that just confuse me.

I never found any of the multitude of Emacs shells useful.
I tried, but dired, M-x grep, locate, compile, etc.
get the job done for me.

OK - well, it doesn't work just setting the
term-mode-map, probably because the shell intercepts
the keystrokes and this is the whole idea with the
mode. Perhaps the OP can use 'M-x shell RET' where
keys are setup like everwhere else?

As far as I know, and that's not very far....

Term-mode and ansi-term are now very similar.  They both have two modes
"character" and "line".  "Line" is like *shell*, each line is sent at
once to the shell.  "Character" is like a terminal, each character is
sent.  The only difference between ansi-term and term-mode is the escape
character (C-c for term-mode and both C-c and C-x for ansi-term).  So,
you can over-ride keybindings quite easily using term-mode-map in line
mode but not in character mode.  In character mode term-raw-map is used.
That looks like something you wouldn't want to tinker with.
