I changed to the Enlightenment desktop manager, changed my underlying distro to Lubuntu (LXDE) Both desktop managers co-opt the C-M-right and -left keys to change desktops. (They also co-opt C-S-right.) Ditto -up and -down. I have tried the following: (global-set-key (kbd "C-S-right") 'org-demote-subtree) (global-set-key (kbd "C-S-left") 'org-promote-subtree) error: C-S- must prefix a single character, not right Have also tried C-M-right, with similar results. Does anyone have an idea? I have two problems. On-line documentation has told me that I can spell out the word "right" to mean "right-arrow," but clearly that is wrong, and there is one letter that does this. ??? My second problem is this: will a command set in .emacs over-ride a command set by my desktop? If it does not, should I try the following, and use the Windows / super key? (global-set-key (kbd "C-s-right") 'org-demote-subtree)
