A way to make Emacs completely disregard a key

A way to make Emacs completely disregard a key

[Deniz Dogan]

I have undefined <f2> so that it is unbound. But still I get "<f2> is
undefined" in the echo area and a beep, which I don't want. I know I
can just bind this to a no-op command instead, but is there a smart
way to make Emacs completely disregard any hit of the <f2> key? So
e.g. C-x <f2> C-s would be interpreted as C-x C-s, since <f2> is not
even snapped up by Emacs.

Thanks,
Deniz Dogan

(global-set-key (kbd "<f2>") 'ignore)

(define-key special-event-map (kbd "<f2>") 'ignore)

maybe `keyboard-translate' can translate a key to nothingness?

Actually, if your on X11 you can use modmap to do this.

Did you mean `xmodmap'?

On Windows, I think you can achieve such a result using AutoHotKey.
