How to redefine C-c

How to redefine C-c

Hello everybody,

I want to redefine "C-c" to "backward-char" like (define-key global-map
"\C-c" 'backward-char) because I've a BÉPO keyboard. However when I enable
the c-mode, my bind is overridden by a prefix.

Major Mode Bindings:
key             binding
---             -------

C-c             Prefix Command

I have tested to redefine "mode-specific-command-prefix" like (define-key
global-map "\C-y" 'mode-specific-command-prefix) in my init.el but my bind
it's always overridden.


Any ideas?

Thanks

I don't recommend that you do that, but if you want to, you can.

(global-set-key "\C-c" 'backward-char)
(define-key c-mode-map "\C-c" 'backward-char)

That just binds the same keymap that `C-c' is bound to to another key (`C-y') as
well.  What you need to do is remove the `C-c' binding, not just add a `C-y'
binding.
