Hi Kenneth, I apologize for not being explicit enough. It's a Thinkpad T500, and I'm talking about the keys on both sides of the up arrow key. They complete the 4 arrow keys into a 2*3 pattern, and are available on most thinkpads.
Page up and Page down have a very useful and natural use already, so I don't want to change it.

They map to "prior" and "next" and I map them as (e.g.) (global-set-key [prior] 'scroll-one-line-down) (global-set-key [M-prior] 'scroll-other-window-one-line-down) (global-set-key [S-prior] 'scroll-down) (global-set-key [C-prior] 'beginning-of-buffer) They work equally well with an external keyboard, and both work for Linux and Windows. help-emacs-windows-bounces+kgold=watson.ibm....@gnu.org wrote on 07/09/2009 08:53:38 AM: > Amnon Harel wrote: > > > > In particular, how can I tell whether emacs for windows notices a key > > was pressed (like xev does in linux)? > > Easiest way is to type: C-H K and then press the key that you are > interested in.
