-
- The problem is that the character sequence "^[[" (ESC-[) is by default
- bound in GNU Emacs to a function (I think it's backward-paragraph).
-
- In order to get GNU Emacs to recognize character sequences beginning with
- ESC-[, you must unbind that function, e.g. by
-
- (global-unset-key "\e[")
-
- preferably early in your .emacs file.
-
- This situation has been raised often enough that it should go into the
- GNU Emacs FAQ list. I don't think it's there now.
