I'm using GNU Emacs 23.1.1 on Ubuntu 10.04 and want to use something similar to the emacs clipboard settings described here, but I want to keep the default behavior and get the alternate one by pressing shift. I mean something like this
;;; these are the defaults anyway
(global-set-key "\C-w" 'kill-region)
(global-set-key "\M-w" 'yank-pop)
(global-set-key "\C-y" 'clipboard-yank)
;;; these should be the clipboard-aware versions
(global-set-key "\C-W" 'clipboard-kill-region)
(global-set-key "\S-\M-w" 'clipboard-kill-ring-save)
(global-set-key "\C-Y" 'clipboard-yank)
But only \S-\M-w
works well, while using \C-W
works exactly like C-w
. I tried also \S-\C-w
, but this ends up with "Invalid modifier in string".
How can I bind shiftcontroly separately from controly?
