I want to be able to automatically insert pre-defined strings when pressing a certain keybinding. Currently this is being done with the following code snippet:
;;;;; Personal keybindings
(global-set-key [f6] "\autocite[--]{}")
The problem is, that this does not work (the one in the example). Instead, Emacs will tell me "After 0 kbd macro iterations: Quit" which does not show up, when just doing the string without the "\". So how could I fix this and enter pre-defined strings which include special character such as "\"?
