- I am trying to set up a keymap for Gnu Emaps using the .emacs file. I am using
- emacs 18.59 on a DEC Ultrix workstation. I am using Telnet to emulate a vt100
- terminal.
-
- I wish to map the Ctrl left and right arrow key combinations (like in the
- Wordstar-type editors such as the Borland Turbo IDE) into forward-word and
- backward-word respectively.
-
- I tried using global-set-key:
-
- (global-set-key "\C-]" 'forward-word)
-
- (the above works for the Ctrl-] combo, but when I enter the escape seq for
- rightarrow instead of ], emacs does't like it!
-
- Any suggestions gratefully received, either to this newsgroup or via e_mail to
