I've just tried (local-set-key "\M-\C-h" 'foo) in my message buffer, and pressing M-backspace says "Symbol's function definition is void: foo". As I said, both should be changed to [(control meta h)]. This feature (*not* a problem or a bug!) is already documented. Just take a look at the docs of `define-key': For backward compatibility, a key sequence may also be represented by a string. In this case, it represents the key sequence(s) that would produce that sequence of ASCII characters in a purely ASCII world. For example, a string containing the ASCII backspace character, "\^H", would represent two key sequences: `(control h)' and `backspace'. Binding a command to this will actually bind both of those key sequences. Likewise for the following pairs: control h backspace control i tab control m return control j linefeed control [ escape control ＠ control space After binding a command to two key sequences with a form like (define-key global-map "\^X\^I" 'command-1) it is possible to redefine only one of those sequences like so: (define-key global-map [(control x) (control i)] 'command-2) (define-key global-map [(control x) tab] 'command-3)
