When writing a keybinding code involving a function key, such as
Ctrl+F1, i've always used
(kbd "C-<f1>"), but i just realized that according to the printout
from describe-key, it seems that it should be “<C-f1>” instead. i.e.
when a named functional key is involved, it brings all the modifier
key inside the angle braket.
Is that suppose to be that way? seems less logical. Compare:
a M-a C-M-a
<up> M-<up> C-M-<up>
<kb-1> M-<kb-1> C-M-<kb-1>
i don't see why all the modifier keys should be brought inside the
angle bracket that designate function keys.
