(global-set-key [M-del] nil) works, and you seem to imply that is the correct syntax, or at least acceptable syntax. perhaps the error message should suggest "M-del" instead of "\M\d"? Also, all references to M-del in the various help messages quoted in this thread are "M-DEL"; should they be "M-del" instead? Or "\M\d"? -- -- Stephe
