Re: 8bit meta confusion and other problems
Ar an seachtú lá déag de mí Eanair, scríobh Julian Bradfield:
I want to bind [multi-key d h] to be eth, without relying on X being
present. (in 21.4)
I can't see how to do it. If I do the obvious thing:
(define-key compose-map "dh" (string (int-to-char #xF0)))
typing multi-key d h
results in "M-p not defined".
I don't understand why there's 8-bit/meta confusion here, or how to
stop it. (set-input-mode doesn't help - I've already set that not to
have 8bit meta.)
Then if I try something less obvious like
(define-key compose-map "dh" (lambda ()
(interactive)
(insert-char (int-to-char #xF0))))
it works in a terminal xemacs, but in an X xemacs, I get
a wrong-number-of-arguments error.
Right now I'm actually trying to get some real work done, so I'm hoping
someone can answer me before I have to read the source;-)
This is most relevant if you ever use the prefix argument to
#'self-insert-command:
(defun generate-self-insert-command-for-character (character)
"Given CHARACTER, return a command that calls `self-insert-command' with
it."
(check-argument-type #'characterp character)
(lexical-let ((character character))
(lambda (&optional count)
"Call `self-insert-command' with a given value for
`last-command-char'."
(interactive "*p")
(let ((last-command-char character))
(self-insert-command (or count 1))))))
(define-key compose-map [?d ?h]
(generate-self-insert-command-for-character ?\xf0))
I’m not sure that the multi-key binding for compose-map is always available
in the TTY, though; my understanding was that it was X11-conditional code
that put it in place. If you’ve bound it to something explicitly then that
doesn’t matter, of course.
