In my .emacs (together with a couple of dozen other similar forms) I have: (global-set-key [(meta super s)] 'search-forward-regexp) This works and C-hf search-forward-regexp shows this: " search-forward-regexp is an interactive built-in function in `subr.el'. It is bound to M-s-s. (search-forward-regexp REGEXP &optional BOUND NOERROR COUNT) " But maybe I've just been lucky not to have something masking the ?q interpretation of q. Anyway it seems to work without specifying that q is a char. Ed
