Re: [External] : Q1 - the keys' bindings to work more widely

[Tatsu Takamaro]

This one works:

   *:keymap '(keymap (?a . kill-ring-save)))*

But I'm not sure why. I wrote the page you gave, and another one 
(https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/elisp/Classifying-Events.html) 
but I don't completely understand the meaning of sign ? before "a". It 
seems, this is to indicate a key(s) as an event, but I can't find the 
explaination of all such signs neither in the web nor in the official 
docs. Another sign of that kind is a backslash and as I got it should be 
in front on a modifier key. *But why? *You know it's always difficult to 
search the web by a one-digit symbol.

But yes, I managed to do what I wanted with this

   *(?\C-c . kill-ring-save)**
   **(?\C-a . mark-whole-buffer)*

and so on. Thank you!

Many problems of this kind are from not knowing Elisp. ^_^
