The Emacs manual suggest `C-x @ h C-a' to enter `Hyper-Control-a'. So `C-x @ c M-%' seems natural to enter `C-M-%'. But it doesn't work. It translates `C-x @ c M-%' to two separate key presses: `C-x @ c ESC' (i.e. C-ESC) and `%'. Is it possible to make `C-x @ c M-%' to work on consoles? > Shouldn't there be? > > E.g. > > C-x @ C M % This is a shorter key sequence for typing a key with the help of `C-x @' than using `C-x @' twice which is mentioned in the manual as a currently impossible way to add two modifiers. Also with upper-case letters it looks like the standard syntax for `C-M-%' without hyphens. But there is a conflict between Shift and Super, which use the same character modifier with different case. -- Juri Linkov http://www.jurta.org/emacs/ _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
