I am totally new to Emacs and on this first day I am trying to do very basic stuff in emacs. I am stuck at switching buffers when there is a terminal window open (by using M-x term). The next buffer command changes from <XF86Forward> to C-c C-<right>. I tried to type Ctrl + c + Ctrl + -> on the keyboard, but it still doesn't work. What is the problem here?
P.S. I am using macOS Mojave and Emacs 26.1.
C-<right> (sometimes written <C-right>) means press and hold the Control key while hitting the <right> key. The <right> key is the right-arrow key.
Emacs key notation is described here: (emacs) User Input.
You can get to that doc within Emacs, by doing this: C-h r i keyboard input.
That is:
C-h (Control + h) followed by r to visit the Emacs manual.i followed by inputting the text keyboard input.In a manual, i looks things up in the Index. Looking up keyboard input it puts you in the manual node User Input.
C-c C-<right> on the Message buffer, while C-c s-<right> can be produced when I held and pressed the command key for s on mac. Why doesn't my C-<right> work?
