- Hi all,
-
- I am using emacs 18.58 on a SUN 4 (Sparc 1) with a type 4 keyboard.
-
- I would like to remap the DEL key on the keypad from delete-backward-char
- to delete-char. I have tried in my .emacs
- (global-set-key "DEL" 'delete-char)
- (global-set-key "\DEL" 'delete-char)
- etc. to no avail.
-
- I did notice that I could do a
- M-x local-set-key DEL delete-char
- while running emacs and this worked OK.
-
- I've looked in the FAQ, I've tried everything, please help explain this!!!
-
- Thanks for all hints and pointers!
-
- Cheers, Peter Clark
