Actually, I was updating my key bindings for less, mutt and trn anyway, so I took a look into modifier.el again. It was hopelessly obsolete; I updated it to use "new" facilities of Emacs. ilyaz.org/software/emacs In particular, to address your problem, the "docs" say: ;;; One hint: if you need to enter a character which is a prefix character, ;;; you can press C-g after it. E.g., to get M-C-x one can do either ;;; C-x Esc m C-x C-g or C-x Esc c Esc x (or even C-x Esc c C-x Esc m x). Thanks for pointing my attention to modifier.el again, Ilya
