Can't bind Ctrl+Alt+I
pdg137 opened this issue · 5 comments
I have tried everything possible to get Ctrl+Alt+I bound:
(package-initialize)
(require 'use-package)
(use-package bind-key :ensure t)
(bind-key* "C-M-i" #'windmove-up)
(global-set-key (kbd "C-M-i") #'windmove-up)
(use-package ergoemacs-mode :ensure t)
(ergoemacs-component my-ergoemacs-keys ()
"My ergoemacs keys"
(global-set-key (kbd "C-M-i") #'windmove-up)
)
(ergoemacs-require 'my-ergoemacs-keys)But no matter what I do, it seems that ergoemacs-mode is overriding that keybinding, remapping it to scroll-other-window-down. The bind-key* commands do succeed in binding that key as long as I have not loaded ergoemacs-mode. Is there a way to bind this particular key? By the way, the J, K, and L keys work fine; it's only Ctrl+Alt+I that has the problem.
The problem is probably you have to do funky things with Ctrl+i otherwise known as TAB to emacs.
ergoemacs-mode had some work-arounds for this but I'm unsure if they still work AND they will only work in GUI emacs. If you are still interested, you will have to use an ergoemacs-theme-component and add it to your current ergoemacs-theme.
I just noticed you used the ergoemacs-theme includes the C-M-i key.
I guess because of the work-around ergoemacs-mode uses it doesn't allow more than one C-M-i key.
I guess one way to fix it is to remove the definition from ergoemacs by the following:
(ergoemacs-component my-move-char ()
"Movement by Characters & Set Mark"
(global-set-key (kbd "C-b") nil)
(global-set-key (kbd "M-j") ("C-b" :emacs))
(global-set-key (kbd "C-f") nil)
(define-key global-map (kbd "M-l") ("C-f" :emacs))
(global-set-key (kbd "C-p") nil)
(define-key (current-global-map) (kbd "M-i") ("C-p" :emacs))
(global-set-key (kbd "C-n") nil)
(define-key ergoemacs-keymap (kbd "M-k") ("C-n" :emacs))
;; These are here so that C-M-i will translate to C-<up> for modes
;; like inferior R mode. That allows the command to be the last
;; command.
;; Not sure it belongs here or not...
(global-set-key (kbd "M-C-j") ("<C-left>" :emacs))
(global-set-key (kbd "M-C-l") ("<C-right>" :emacs))
(global-set-key (kbd "M-C-i") #'windmove-up)
(global-set-key (kbd "M-C-k") ("<C-down>" :emacs))
(global-set-key (kbd "C-SPC") nil) ;; Set Mark
(global-set-key (kbd "M-SPC") ("C-SPC" :emacs))
;; Mode specific changes
(define-key browse-kill-ring-mode-map (kbd "M-i") 'browse-kill-ring-previous)
(define-key browse-kill-ring-mode-map (kbd "M-k") 'browse-kill-ring-forward)
;; Delete previous/next char.
(global-set-key (kbd "M-d") 'delete-backward-char)
(global-set-key (kbd "C-d") nil)
(global-set-key (kbd "M-f") 'delete-char)
;; Mode specific changes
(define-key browse-kill-ring-mode-map (kbd "M-i") 'browse-kill-ring-backward)
(define-key browse-kill-ring-mode-map (kbd "M-k") 'browse-kill-ring-forward)
(define-key browse-kill-ring-mode-map (kbd "M-f") 'browse-kill-ring-delete)
(when iswitchb-define-mode-map-hook
(define-key iswitchb-mode-map [remap backward-char] 'iswitchb-prev-match)
(define-key iswitchb-mode-map [remap forward-char] 'iswitchb-next-match))

I have not tested this, but I believe it will work. You will have to select your new theme of course:
(setq ergoemacs-theme "my-theme")Well, I tried pasting all of that into my startup file and rearranging it various ways, but no matter what, C-M-i always gets bound to something different from what I specified. I did notice that I could remove move-page from the list of components to disable the scroll-other-window-down binding. But then it seems to return to its default Emacs binding, which is mode-dependent.
This seems to work! I don't quite understand why C-M-i is treated differently from other keys, but removing move-page and unbinding my key from existing mode maps gets it working everywhere.
(package-initialize)
(require 'use-package)
(use-package bind-key :ensure t)
;; unbind C-M-i from all mode maps
(unbind-key "C-M-i" emacs-lisp-mode-map)
;; need to add more...
;; Add bindings for the windmove commands.
;; Note: bind-key* does not seem to work here.

Its about emacs being old and interpreting keys for terminals.
https://emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/17509/how-to-distinguish-c-i-from-tab
has some context.
Other keys you may have problems with are C-m and C-[, M-O and M-[ One of the recurrant ergoemacs-mode issues has to do with how these keys are determined.
There are some tricky things that have to be done to handle these keys.
