* override/delete translation of C-S-y? @ 2021-06-09 22:18 Stephen Leake 2021-06-09 23:26 ` Stefan Monnier 2021-06-10 3:41 ` Phil Sainty 0 siblings, 2 replies; 5+ messages in thread From: Stephen Leake @ 2021-06-09 22:18 UTC (permalink / raw) To: emacs-devel I'm trying to bind "\C-Y" to yank-from-kill-ring (I already have the other modifies on C-y bound). However, something is translating "\C-Y" to "\C-y"; according to the elisp manual on translating keys, it's one of ‘input-decode-map’, ‘local-function-key-map’, or ‘key-translation-map’. However, (lookup-key *-map "\C-Y") returns nil for all those maps, as does (lookup-key *-map "\C-y"). I tried greping in the source to find where those keymaps are set, but I did not find C-y. How do I find the right key binding to override/delete? -- -- Stephe ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread

(kbd "C-Y") "^Y" (kbd "C-y") "^Y" Such control characters have always been case-insensitive. As it happens, you put the solution in your subject line: (kbd "C-S-y") [33554457] That event wouldn't be sent in a terminal, but you should be able to use it in GUI frames. -Phil ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread

The reason for this is historical. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread
