Thanks ;-)
Now let me see if I understand this... - here is then another question around this: As I understand it now the preferable way to define a key is (of course) always to use a canonical representation. Maybe it even can not be done in any other way?The canonical representation is the one that works on most if not all systems (with tty input normally being the most restrictive). All other representations of the key are supposed to be translated through function-key-map.
But then there are string representations too.
