How to get rid of *GNU Emacs* buffer on start-up by pressing a key as it used to be

[gnuist006]

Hi everyone,

How to get rid of *GNU Emacs* buffer on start-up by pressing a key as it used to be?

The following are not satisfactory as its good to see the welcome buffer but then have it disappear by any convenient key.

(setq inhibit-start-screen 1)
(setq inhibit-startup-screen t)
(setq inhibit-splash-screen  t)

Check your `splash-screen-keymap' and just bind any key you want to
the `exit-splash-screen' function.

Very good suggestion. I see that the `exit-splash-screen' function is
currently bound to "q" and does not exist in the previous emacs like 21.
However, I need a syntax to bind not just one key but multiple keys to the
exit function so that it can behave like emacs 21 which exits on any key or
most keys.

If suppose it has to exit on several or all keys, then this binding must be
in this very context of startup and this screen or buffer.

This is quite demanding for a newbie like me.

So I need some help from you guys. Also, I want an easier single command to
bind several keys like SPC, q, and others to this function.

What's wrong with "q"? Press it with your left little
finger. It is mnemonic as well: "quit".

And why not just disable the splash screen if you are
so keen on killing it you have to hit the keyboard
with your palm first thing you see it?

Pressing 'q' works for me in Emacs 24.5

Here is what I use. In particular, note the
`inhibit-startup-echo-area-message' which you have to
supply your *username* to make work! Read the help to
realize why. It seems people put a lot of faith in
that message :)

;; no fanfare / init
(setq inhibit-startup-screen t)
(setq initial-scratch-message nil)
(setq inhibit-startup-echo-area-message "incal")
(kill-buffer "*scratch*")
(call-interactively 'w3m)
(cd "~")
