coding esq f11

coding esq f11

[Jim Kalb]

I have a macro that I've named "g" that I invoke with alt-f11:

(global-set-key (quote [M-f11]) (quote g))

I'm trying to get it to work in a terminal (rxvt-unicode) that
interprets alt-f11 as esc-f11 and I get back

ESQ <f11> is undefined

So I'd like to add a global-set-key that binds it to ESQ <f11> but
neither google nor trial-and-error have helped.

Can someone suggest something?

Hi,

define the key interactively

  M-x global-set-key RET  ESC f11 RET g RET

and grab the correct ELISP line from the prompt buffer

  M-x repeat-complex-command RET

Cheers

When I do that I get the following in the prompt buffer:

Redo: (repeat-complex-command 1)

I'm using GNU Emacs 23.1.1 if that matters.

Hi,

push the return key and scroll within the prompt buffer with the up
arrow key until you see somthing like

 (global-set-key (quote ...) (quote g))

copy that line to your .emacs file.
