My question concerns the F1 key which I generally define as buffer-ring in my .emacspfkeys file. Whenever I hit this key in emacs it is interpreted as ^H. (All the other PF keys work fine). This occurs if I'm running emacs on the local X-server, on another X display, or within an xterm. The same thing happens when I run on the console with the X-server disabled. If I hit F1 in the shell or running od, I see the usual F1 escape sequences, I assume emacs must be remapping this key. (?) I'm running emacs 19.29.1 Can anyone offer any advice on how I can get "normal" F1 key behaviour? Thanks! -BK
