Re: customize key bindings?

On 12 Jan 1999 17:22:14 +0100, you said: The three biggest hurdles here are: 1) You don't know what their keyboard looks like (and we probably can't do the sort of things Apple did with the Macintosh 'Key Caps' program). 2) A user trying to customize keymaps may not *know* or *care* what the underlying Lisp function is called. All they might know is "I like what Meta-Alt-X-5-leftfootpedal-cokebottle does, but it's a bitch to type, so please make it Meta-7 instead"... 3) We still haven't decided how to cram all the various variants of "this key either deletes a character in some direction (usually forward or back, but possibly up or down, unless it happens to invoke the help facility..." onto the keyboard. ;) (Guess who had to explain Emacs to a manager recently? ;) -- Valdis Kletnieks Computer Systems Senior Engineer Virginia Tech
