It's not part of emacs, I just wrote it as an example.
- silentbicycle 16y agoOh, right. Sorry, hadn't had my coffee yet. I tried doing exactly that, but used (interactive "kKey: "), with lowercase k, and it didn't work.
- funptr 16y agoThat seems to work also, what's the problem?
- silentbicycle 16y agoDidn't work correctly with a few slightly-more elaborate key combinations I tried. IIRC C-x M-. was one of them. I much prefer formatting the keybindings like kbd uses, anyway - do you know offhand how to convert a keypress to that format w/out using C-h k?
- funptr 16y agoNot offhand, but I looked it up and I think what you want is `key-description'. It prints key sequences, so e.g. (key-description "\370") evals to "M-x".
- silentbicycle 16y agoBingo. Thanks. This should do what the original commenter wanted: (defun insert-keybinding (k) "Insert code for a keybinding." (interactive "kKey sequence: ") (insert (concat "(global-set-key (kbd \"" (key-description k) "\") 'function-name)")))
