Hello!
Does anyone here knows "what to press" to activate this keybinding?
(global-set-key [(alt ?3)] (hot-file "~/.emacs"))
I don't know what does the '?' means....
Thanks in advance,
HS

I think it means Alt-3 in XEmacs.
But I don't know for sure.

It means the character 3 (code 51, #o63, #x33, U+0033) instead of the
integer 3. So [(alt ?3)] is the same as [?\A-3]; i.e. hold down the
Alt key and press the 3 key.
See the "Changing Key Bindings" node of the Emacs Lisp manual.
