Question

I can’t seem to rebind ctrl-ret in Emacs. I searched Google extensively, but in the few cases where there was some example of how to rebind it, that example didn’t work.
I want to unset the current binding, and replace it with a new one. How do I do this?

What did you try that didn’t work? This works for me in Emacs 24 on Windows 7:

(global-set-key [(control return)] 'foobar)

Update: cua-mode uses define-key, try this instead:

(define-key cua-global-keymap cua-rectangle-mark-key 'foobar)
