In shell mode on emacs, the current key binding for quitting the shell mode ('comint-interrupt-subjob
) is "\C-c \C-c"
, and I want to change it to "\C-c"
as in ordinary linux shell. I tried
(add-hook 'shell-mode-hook '(lambda ()
(local-set-key "\C-c" 'comint-interrupt-subjob)
))
But it did not work. Probably I need to disable the prefix assigned to "\C-c"
. How can I do that?
Try this:
(eval-after-load "shell"
'(define-key shell-mode-map (kbd "C-c") 'comint-interrupt-subjob))
In general, when you define keys you should define them in particular keymaps, as opposed to just hoping the local-set-key
does what you want.
Note: I prefer using kbd
for describing keys, your "\C-c"
would work just fine.
(define-key (current-local-map) "^C" 'comint-interrupt-subjob)
This will do the work without the error checking of local-set-key
