As I replied to Noam, I had not understood the 

(define-key input-decode-map "\C-[" [C-left-bracket])

part

so I tried a number of things that messed my setup had to restart, try again, 
etc. without any success.

I still don't understand where that "left-bracket" comes from so if you could 
explain that would be extra nice.
