Thanks, Angus, but I must be misunderstanding something. For all the exercises below, I first invoke the Search popup and enter a search string in the Find window, then press the Find_Next button to take us to the first instance. Then... Entering "word-find-forward" (without the quotes) directly into the minibuffer produces a message: "(word-find-forward)" below the minibuffer. After about five seconds, the message is replaced by "Font: Default" but nothing has happened, the cursor in the main window hasn't moved, etc. I get the same lack of response (without the screen-bottom message) if I bind like this: \bind "C-f" "word-find-forward" but now if I type "word-find-forward" into the minibuffer, there's still no action, but the message is now "(word-find-forward: |C-f|)" similarly for \bind "C-f" "command-sequence word-find-forward" or \bind "C-f" "command-sequence word-find-forward;" Other attempts: \bind "C-f" "M-x word-find-forward" or \bind "C-f" "M-x word-find-forward;" gives: Unknown function \bind "C-f" "command-sequence M-x word-find-forward" gives: Unknown function (M-x word-find-forward) \bind "C-f" "command-sequence M-x; word-find-forward" gives: Unknown function (M-x) What am I doing wrong?
