I have the following two lines in my .emacs:
(define-key global-map "\C-cw" 'clipboard-kill-ring-save)
(define-key global-map "\C-x\C-kw" 'clipboard-kill-ring-save)
The first line is no problem, the second gives:
error: "Key sequence C-x C-k w uses invalid prefix characters"
What I understood from 'Learning GNU Emacs' is the second way, the way you
should bind your own definitions. Why does it not work?
Because C-k already has another definition (killing text)
You have to "undefine" C-k with something like this:
(global-set-key "\C-k" nil)
Hope it helps,
