Subject: One more time: binding overwrite-mode to Apple kbd
Date: Sun, 16 Jul 2006 16:07:13 +0000 (UTC) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <e9do7h$sbe$1@reader2.panix.com> (raw)
Apple keyboards apparently don't have an <insert> key (mine certainly
doesn't), which is a pain when one wants to toggle overwrite-mode.
Searching online I've found claims that the <help> key in these
keyboards serves as the <insert> key, but when I use it in Emacs,
the <help> key produces the help- prefix (reasonably enough); i.e.
it is equivalent to hitting C-h. I'd be perfectly happy to jettison
this functionality, since I find C-h convenient enough. I am
assuming that the <help> key emits a different code from what's
sent by C-h. I have two questions: 1) can this raw *keyboard code*
be bound to an Emacs command? and if yes, 2) how do I determine
what this code is?
The situation on my MacBook portable's keyboard is even worse: it
doesn't even have a <help> key. I suppose I'll just bind C-c i to
overwrite-mode. Any better ideas?
Thanks!
