- OK, I received the following solution from a kind ( and speedy ) soul:
-
- (global-set-key 'up 'previous-line)
- (global-set-key 'down 'next-line)
- (global-set-key 'left 'backward-char)
- (global-set-key 'right 'forward-char)
-
- This works! BUT it raises a concern: without these definitions, the default
- x-win.el define-keys are
-
- (define-key global-map 'left "\C-b")
- (define-key global-map 'up "\C-p")
- (define-key global-map 'right "\C-f")
- (define-key global-map 'down "\C-n")
-
- which, in turn, should translate to backward-char, forward-char,
- previous-line, and next-line, should the not? After all, that is
- what I get if I do a describe-key help on C-b, C-p, etc.
-
- So, I'm not sure why I have to do this, but as long as it works (and
- it does) it's OK for me!
