,----[ http://mid.gmane.org/E1Dnaf1-0007am-Cg%40neutrino.iwi.uni-sb.de ] | An open issue is the key binding for toggling the mode. If the minor | mode should be able to be activated in some major modes but not in | others, it doesn't make much sense to bind this to the Scroll Lock key | which in my understanding means to enable or disable it globally (not | just for Emacs but for other applications aware of it as well). `---- Personally I have the following in my init file: (let ((key (if (eq window-system 'w32) "<scroll>" "<Scroll_Lock>"))) (unless (lookup-key (current-global-map) (read-kbd-macro key)) (define-key (current-global-map) (read-kbd-macro key) 'scroll-lock-mode))) -- Ralf _______________________________________________ emacs-pretest-bug mailing list emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-pretest-bug
