I have the arrow keys on our HP terminals set up to move the cursor thusly: (global-set-key "\ea" 'previous-line) (global-set-key "\eb" 'next-line) (global-set-key "\ec" 'forward-char) (global-set-key "\ed" 'backward-char) The problem is that the "original" functions bound to these sequences (M-a, M-b, M-c, M-d) must be remapped or executed explicitly. Is there a more elegant way of binding the arrow keys to cursor movement? Perhaps some timing device that says, "the 'a' came immediately after the ESC so it was probably an arrow key." I will post a summary of any helpful replies.
