- benj111 4y agoCan you get a keybinding wrong for a command that doesn't exist?
- Jorengarenar 4y agoWhat made you think it does not exist?
- benj111 4y agoFair enough. What is the keybinding then?
- imaltont 4y agoM-x butterfly C-M-c(or RET), made in reference to the xkcd. Been in there since version 23.
- benj111 4y agoSurely if it was made in reference to the comic, Emacs got the keybinding wrong?
- imaltont 4y ago> You can type ‘M-x butterfly C-M-c’ to run it. This is a permuted variation of ‘C-x M-c M-butterfly’ from url ‘https://xkcd.com/378/’ https://xkcd.com/378/’. From the documentation. I don't know why they didn't make it the same, but this is how it is, though maybe because M-butterfly is rather hard to press.
- owl57 4y agoIt seems more nuanced. What does it mean that the command doesn't exist? Every serious Emacs user has their own personal bindings, some of those for their own custom commands. But "M-butterfly" suggests more rare hackery, though seemingly trivial for the hypothetical butterfly hacker: they have a "butterfly" key in their keyboard layout.
