But all promoting or demoting commands do not work as advertised. I get i.e. ESC <S-right> undefined etc.
Alt-S-right seems to work for me while Esc-S-right just beeps. Perhaps that and this excerpt from emacs info will help to clear things up? Another Emacs character-set extension is additional modifier bits. Only one modifier bit is commonly used; it is called Meta. Every character has a Meta variant; examples include `Meta-a' (normally written `M-a', for short), `M-A' (not the same character as `M-a', but those two characters normally have the same meaning in Emacs), `M-<RET>', and `M-C-a'. For reasons of tradition, we usually write `C-M-a' rather than `M-C-a'; logically speaking, the order in which the modifier keys <CTRL> and <META> are mentioned does not matter. Some terminals have a <META> key, and allow you to type Meta characters by holding this key down. Thus, `Meta-a' is typed by holding down <META> and pressing `a'. The <META> key works much like the <SHIFT> key. Such a key is not always labeled <META>, however, as this function is often a special option for a key with some other primary purpose. Sometimes it is labeled <ALT> or <EDIT>; on a Sun keyboard, it may have a diamond on it. If there is no <META> key, you can still type Meta characters using two-character sequences starting with <ESC>. Thus, you can enter `M-a' by typing `<ESC> a'. You can enter `C-M-a' by typing `<ESC> C-a'. <ESC> is allowed on terminals with <META> keys, too, in case you have formed a habit of using it. _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
