I got what I tried to do out of 'Learning GNU Emacs', pages 160 and 161. But
it does not work. For example for the keybinding they give:
C-x C-k b
But then I get:
Key sequence b is not a keyboard macro
That is a big oops for O'Reilly.
I tried to use the reserved keys, but that is not possible. What is a good
way to select keys for binding macro's to?
