Macintosh Command Key

Macintosh Command Key

[Jay Cotton]

(Please excuse the duplicate of this message that I sent from the wrong 
email address.)

I am using a version of emacs for OS X. Does anybody know how to 
reference the Macintosh Command key (Apple key) in elisp? (I would like 
to add a global-set-key function call for the command key in my .emacs 
file.)

Thanks,
Jay

In general, you can type C-h c followed by any key and see
a message about what keystroke you just typed (from Emacs
point of view).

I just wrote this the other day.

(defun insert-sequence-key (key)
  "Inserts a keystroke suitable for use in fcns like global-set-key"
  (interactive "kInseret key chord: ")
  (insert (format "(kbd \"%s\")" (key-description key))))
