When I do C-h k Meta backspace on w32 the help buffer tells me M-DEL (translated from <M-backspace>) runs the command backward-kill-word which is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `simple.el'. It is bound to <C-backspace>, M-DEL. Would it not be better if the error message we are talking about told me to bind [M-backspace] instead?Personally, I think this is a great argument for (kbd "M-DEL"). Ted
Which actually works, yes. But isn't there a point in telling about M-backspace instead since M-DEL is made in the platform specific translation in function-key-map?
