I am trying to bind S-RET to something, but it's getting ignored. If I do C-h k S-RET, I see RET (translated from <S-return>) runs... - which seems to suggest that Emacs sees the S- in S-RET just fine, but then decides to drop the S- part for some reason. How do I find that reason and, preferably, remove it?

This is a macOS GUI build from https://emacsformacosx.com. Googling finds multiple instances of similar issue of Emacs on terminals, but in this case it is not a terminal. I have also tried looking at the translation keymap variables, I don't fully understand their contents, but at least they don't grep for anything starting with S-R... or S-r....

You didn't show us how you're attempting to bind S-RET, but one way is:

(local-set-key (kbd "S-<return>") (lambda () (interactive)
                                    (message "hello")))

  • It does work. My fault - I was debugging a certain minor mode and thought that I removed it from scenario when in fact I didn't. Thanks!
