Org-mode: C-c a is undefined but I have set key in config

Question

I am a new user of emacs org-mode. I am getting an error when trying to get into agenda mode:

C-c a is undefined

My ~/.emacs looks like this:

(global-set-key "\C-cl" 'org-store-link)
(global-set-key "\C-ca" 'org-agenda)
(global-set-key "\C-cc" 'org-capture)
(global-set-key "\C-cb" 'org-iswitchb)

(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.org\\'" . org-mode))

And I believe the files are in the correct directory structure because if I M-x into org-agenda manually, the agenda correctly shows the calendar items in my file. I am starting from the file:

GTD_todo.org in ~/org/

And my config is:

.emacs in ~/org/

I am using Cygwin64 on a Windows 10 machine. Thanks!

Answer 1

Thanks for your help. I realized ~/org/.emacs was not actually my configuration file, emacs was using ~/.emacs, which contained an agenda reference to ~/org/GTD_todo.org as an agenda file but not the global shortcut keys.

So, org-agenda was showing the correct agenda files but could not use the hotkeys. The edits I was making to ~/org/.emacs were not actually doing anything.

Thank you!
