Why is Ctrl+M bound to Enter in Ubuntu Jaunty? How to turn it off? I'm using Emacs and would like to bind Ctrl+M to some other command. Eric Warmenhoven I think your question is backwards. It is not C-m that is bound to Enter , it is Enter that is bound to C-m . And C-m is the same as RET . If you run C-h k C-m , you will see something like " RET runs the command ... ". C-m sends RET because it is a control code, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_character . The Enter key is bound to C-m ; if you run C-h k Enter , you will see something like " RET (translated from <return>) runs the

I've been using vim for many years and have never really thought about it. A friend of mine asked why that is, noting that in our culture, left would usually map to up while right would map to down, making the vim keys backwards. I understand that they are on the home row, meaning that you do not have to move your fingers anywhere to hit them, but that's a different point altogether. Basically, my question is: does anyone know why these keys were given their present purposes? It would be great if you could point me to some documentation on the decision as well. The answer is in the wikipedia

Though I know how to set a global key-binding in Emacs, I find it hard to even Google out the code for a local (minor-mode specific) key-binding. For instance, I have this code in my .emacs : ;; PDFLaTeX from AucTeX (global-set-key (kbd "C-c M-p") (lambda () (interactive) (shell-command (concat "pdflatex " buffer-file-name)))) I don't want to set it globally. Is there a function like local-set-key ? Rémi To bind a key in a mode, you need to wait for the mode to be loaded before defining the key. One could require the mode, or use eval-after-load (eval-after-load 'latex '(define-key LaTeX-mode

My code: import tkinter master = tkinter.Tk() master.title("test1") master.geometry("300x300") masterFrame = tkinter.Frame(master) masterFrame.pack(fill=tkinter.X) checkboxArea = tkinter.Frame(masterFrame, height=26) checkboxArea.pack(fill=tkinter.X) inputStuff = tkinter.Frame(masterFrame) checkboxList = [] def drawCheckbox(): checkboxList.append(entry.get()) entry.delete(0,tkinter.END) checkboxRow = tkinter.Frame(checkboxArea) checkboxRow.pack(fill=tkinter.X) checkbox1 = tkinter.Checkbutton(checkboxRow, text = checkboxList[-1]) checkbox1.pack(side=tkinter.LEFT) deleteItem = tkinter.Button

On my UK MacBook Air, # can be typed using OPT+3. SHIFT+3 currently produces £ . How can I rewire so that SHIFT+3 produces # ? This question is motivated by https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/156154/use-option-as-meta-key-with-ability-to-type-the-symbol I think it's a failing that the default setting on OSX's Terminal app doesn't register OPT (which is needed e.g. for keyboard shortcuts in the nano editor), and that if you switch the setting to enable it, you are now unable to type # , which is generally done by OPT+3. I frequently need # while editing configuration files on my remote

I open the dialog from the main window, where by clamping the keys, I fill the line with their names. The problem is that I can not understand where you need to do a cycle of checking all the keys on their state. Maybe there is another way to get the keys pressed? Or where you need to listen to the clamping so that the dialog box does not hang and the string is updated. MainWindow: def showBindings(self, param): from dialogs import KeyBindingsDialog self.dialog = KeyBindingsDialog() self.dialog.show() Dialog: class KeyBindingsDialog(QtWidgets.QDialog): def __init__(self, parent=None): super

I wanted to change the default action of the ENTER key on JTable , so I used this code: table.getInputMap(JComponent.WHEN_ANCESTOR_OF_FOCUSED_COMPONENT) .put(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_ENTER, 0), "Enter"); table.getActionMap().put("Enter", new AbstractAction() { private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L; public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae) { //my action } } Tt works normally. What I want now is to change the row just after my action. In other words, execute the default action of the enter key. trashgod The default Action for the ENTER key is "selectNextRowCell" . As shown
