Re: C-<digit> key bindings not working on console

You can edit us.kmap.gz (or whatever country keymap you are using).
Below is what I have in mine:

Then rename the file to personal.kmap.gz and load it with

loadkeys personal.kmap.gz

Then in .emacs write:

(define-key function-key-map "\eO5A" '[C-up])
(define-key function-key-map "\eO5B" '[C-down])
(define-key function-key-map "\eO5C" '[C-right])
(define-key function-key-map "\eO5D" '[C-left])

(define-key function-key-map "\eO3A" '[M-up])
(define-key function-key-map "\eO3B" '[M-down])
(define-key function-key-map "\eO3C" '[M-right])
(define-key function-key-map "\eO3D" '[M-left])

(define-key function-key-map "\eO2A" '[S-up])
(define-key function-key-map "\eO2B" '[S-down])
(define-key function-key-map "\eO2C" '[S-right])
(define-key function-key-map "\eO2D" '[S-left])

You can see the characters a key compination produces with

cat > /dev/null
^[O5D


^[O5C

^[O5A^[O5B

and Control-D to finish.  If you see nothing,
then you need to change the keymap.  C-0, C-1 give nothing in Linux console.

It is a bit painful, but at the end it works.
