the evil f11

the evil f11

[Uwe Brauer]

Hi

I am completely puzzled by the following, for ages my emacs_keys.el file
contained the line

(global-set-key [(f11)]   'capitalize-word)

However since some time (I cannot remember when)

C-h k f11 gives
,----
| <f11> runs the command toggle-frame-fullscreen (found in global-map),
| which is an interactive compiled Lisp function in ‘frame.el’.
| 
| It is bound to <f11>.
`----

I usually have in my emacs init file the line
(load-library "emacs_keys.el")
or 
(require 'emacs_keys)

Even if I load it manually f11 is still bound to
toggle-frame-fullscreen.

Only when I enter the emacs_keys.el file
and eval
(global-set-key [(f11)]   'capitalize-word)

Then everything is fine.

I don't understand this because all the other binding is fine. It turns
me crazy.

Any help is strongly appreciated.

I don't know if it makes any difference, but my key definitions don't
have parens around the function key name:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
...
(setq f7-keymap (make-sparse-keymap))
(define-key global-map [f7] f7-keymap)
(define-key f7-keymap [f7] 'org-agenda-list)
(define-key f7-keymap "c" 'org-capture)
...
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I deleted the parenthesis and it did not make a difference. I repeat:

If I do (with or without parenthesis)

(global-set-key [(f11)]   'capitalize-word)
                                           ^ C-x C-e

The binding is done.

If I put that line in my init file
the key is bound.


But if I have it in another file (byte compiled or not) which is loaded
by my init file then f11 is *not* bound.

It starts to look like a bug to me. Maybe some of the developers can say
something about it, if not I submit a bug report.

All this developer can say is I cannot reproduce this.  I made a
.emacs file that includes only one line:

(load "~/einit.el")

I then made a file einit.el that also includes one line:

(global-set-key [(f11)]   'capitalize-word)

I then started Emacs and "C-h c f11" says it's bound to
capitalize-word, as expected.

So please look at the details of your init files, and see what you
didn't tell us.

Ok I did the same with emacs -Q
and it works
I started emacs -Q again and loaded my emacs_keys file and it failed. So
something is strange in that file. When I find out I will report back,
save it is completely stupid.

thanks

Sorry, my apologies my emacs_keys.el file was corrupt. Sorry for the noise.
