Perhaps someone can explain the observation that the Esc key on my
Dell laptop does not seem to function as the Meta key in
GNU Emacs 23.2.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600) of 2010-05-08 on G41R2F1
when in a buffer produced by the command
electric-buffer-list
In "ebuff-menu.el" I find the following:
(define-key map "\e>" 'end-of-buffer)
(define-key map "\e<" 'beginning-of-buffer)
By using instead C-[
(Control, Left bracket)
I can get "describe-key" to work with C-[ > while in the electric
buffer and it starts out saying
-----------------------------------------------------------------
M-> runs the command end-of-buffer, which is an interactive compiled
Lisp function in `simple.el'.
It is bound to M->, <C-end>, <menu-bar> <edit> <goto> <end-of-buf>.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
In a buffer that isn't an electric buffer, "describe-key-briefly"
produces the following (taken from the *Messages* buffer) for the key
combination Esc->
M-> (translated from <escape> >) runs the command end-of-buffer
In the electric buffer, "describe-key-briefly" for Esc-> produces the
following (taken from the *Messages* buffer):
<escape> > is undefined
In the electic buffer, "describe-key-briefly" for C-[ > produces the
following (taken from the *Messages* buffer):
M-> runs the command end-of-buffer
- Esc key not Meta key in electric buffer,
