Sorry, this type of translation is not supported by Devil. The reason is that the devil-key
(which is ,
by default) is an actual key binding that runs a command named devil
which then reads a Devil key sequence and translates it to Emacs key sequences and commands.
Since <f1> ,
represents a completely different key sequence under the <f1>
prefix, Devil does not get a chance to run when this key sequence is typed.
I believe a workaround for this could be to type , h , a
instead.
Thanks for the fast response @susam. That's what I suspected.
Did you experiment with different approaches for implementing devil? The ,
keybinding approach is elegant and makes sense. However, I'm trying to learn more about Emacs, and I was interested in knowing if it were possible to implement devil by instead advising a function like this-single-command-keys
. I imagine that it could be possible to handle the edge case I described in this issue if we were always able to "intercept" the most recent key, but I'm sure this approach could add complexity. I was just curious! Thanks for your time.
I apologize if the title of this issue is confusing, but hopefully an example will illustrate what I mean:
Is there a way for me to trigger keybindings such as
<f1> C-a
using devil? Currently, typing<f1> ,
will result in the error<f1> , is undefined
rather than activating the devil prompt.Instead, I would like to be able to do
<f1> , a
and have devil translate that to<f1> C-a
.Thanks!
