key binding "C-:" for avy-goto-char doesn't work

choyoungcin opened this issue · 2 comments

add a key-binding in emacs init file:
(global-set-key (kbd "C-:") 'avy-goto-char)
for avy-goto-char function.

When I press down Ctrl and :(with Shift pressed), nothing happens.
But when use Meta-x avy-goto-char, the commands list window shows C-: already bound to this function. And this function works well.

And if I replace char : to j (for example), it works fine.
Please help

It seems you're using Emacs inside a terminal. Emacs cannot recognize the C-: sequence when inside the terminal. I suggest using GUI Emacs to overcome this.

Many thanks
