keybinding not working #141

Closed aodock closed 8 years ago

aodock commented 8 years ago

Hi, i have installed avy on mac. Then added the line (global-set-key (kbd "C-:") 'avy-goto-char) to my ~/.emacs file. When i call avy by keybinding it does not work, instead if i do M-x avy-goto-char it works. And this holds for all other remaining avy options too.

Does avy requires any other packages.?

No, you can just load it with emacs -Q. Try emacs -Q -l avy.el and check that binding a key works. The issue is likely with your config. Also try something different than C-:, that binding has issues when used in the terminal.

Yes, im using emacs on terminal. It works when i change it from C-: to C-c ;.. But i like to keep the default... coze, i have just moved from vim to emacs. Any how i will use the one which works. thanks abo-abo

I'm sorry, but this is a Mac/Terminal/Emacs issue that's not related to avy. I don't know how to solve it, but I avoid the C-: myself on a Linux machine.

Try to ask here to find a solution: http://emacs.stackexchange.com/questions

@aodock I use Emacs in the terminal at times too, and had so had find a different keybinding. If you have C-a cycle between beginning-of-line and back-to-indentation, you can then use M-m for avy, for example. Also, M-n is unbound in the global keymap.
