Yes! Thank you! That was the ticket. I suppose there's a page out

mainly out of a book.
Okay, you can look at the GNU Emacs manual section for the "kbd" macro. This way looks fairly straight forward.
I can't find the vector notation clearly discussed in the GNU Emacs manual. I know it from XEmacs and just always preferred it. As far as I can tell, it works the same in GNU Emacs.
You can read more about key sequence vectors in the XEmacs manual:
A note about your original question, the "^" prefix to skip-chars-backward is discusses in the doc string (well it links to skip-chars-forward, and discusses it there). The doc string of functions and variables is a great way to explore Emacs.
