Since I never use the ESC key in Emacs, I was experimenting with
trying to see if I could bind it to something like
keyboard-escape-quit, which I might find useful.
Someone in the archives of the xemacs mailing list posted this code:
(setq meta-prefix-char -1)
So I tried it in GNU Emacs (very stale CVS checkout), and got a
segfault. To reproduce it do:
emacs -q
(setq meta-prefix-char -1) C-x C-e
M-x
Apparently xemacs documents: "To disable the meta-prefix-char, set it
to a negative number." Even if this usage is not legal in GNU Emacs,
trying it presumably should not cause a segfault.
It would be nice if it were possible to make the escape key a
non-prefix key (when running under a windowing system, not a console).
