RE: binding to G keys

Interesting. Let me clarify though. Indeed, I am using the G-keys in xemacs, but I am using them thru the Logitech macro mapper. For example, my G1 key is mapped to Control-F1. No problem there. But, the point of the G keys, I thought, is so that we don't have to tie-up by F-keys or any other keys for that matter. I've already mapped to my commands all of the standard keys (including the use of control , shift, and alt); now I would like to use the G keys. So far, I cannot map the G-keys directly to an xemacs command.

Could it be that the keyboard driver maps those keys some esoteric feature and don't let it through to XEmacs? From the very little I have just learned about the keyboard by surfing the net it seems like the G-keys can be used in gaming to define different kinds of macros. So the driver is likely to catch the keys!? I have had similar experience with mouse drivers. Mouses with many buttons etc comes with a driver that allows you to map the buttons to different features. With XEmacs I often have to disable the default behavior, as defined by the driver, tide to the middle button. As an old X-windows user I like the middle press just to be sent to XEmacs. Nothing else. Maybe you are experiencing something similar with the G-keys? Either you can bind them to some keys that XEmacs do recognise or just disable any special treatment on them? But I'm just a standard keyboard user ...
