- ; In the following .emacs file I want to be placed into text-mode by default
- ; and have my function key # 2 on my televideo terminal become the
- ; scroll-up function.
- ;
- ; When I enter emacs I am still in default lisp mode and
- ; when I hit my F2 key I get the letter A placed onto my screen, but no
- ; scrollup.
- ;
- ; I have read thru the FAQ for emacs but they all show examples of
- ; function keys that generate an escape code. I feel I am following these
- ; examples but I can't get mine to work.
- ;
- ; I am assuming that I don't have to write some complex function
- ; definition to get my function keys to work. Most of the examples I have seen,
- ; both in the FAQ and other books like GNU Emacs from O'Reilly & Assiciates
- ; seem to state that I can do what I want using the global-set-key features.
- ; The global-unset-key statements do work, though.
- ;
- ;I am hoping someone can code the correct statements to set me up in a
- ; default text mode, in this case, and also, an example for my F2 key that
- ; I can then use as an example to setup my remaining function keys.
- ;
- ; Any help will be greatly appreciated.
