Usually <left>
is bound to 'left-char
I have never edited this in my init file or <right>
for that matter.
However recently when I'm at the beggining of a line and I type <left>
it does not go to the last letter of the line above
(or the first letter of the line below if you press <right>
at the end of the line)
I was wondering if any of you have encountered this issue in the past.
I have a sizeable Init file spanning multiple files and I'm not sure how to tackle this issue.
Thanks in advance for the help.
I have tried
(global-unset-key (kbd "<left>") )
(global-set-key (kbd "<left>") 'left-char)
The strange thing is if I call <M-X left char>
at the beginning of the line
it behaves perfectly normal
d
in fundamental-mode inserts it, but the same key in dired-mode marks a file for deletion). You can find out what the key is bound to, usingC-h c
. The name of the function often gives a clue about who did the rebinding. – NickD Aug 7 '17 at 17:27
