Question

I’m trying to rebind my page-up and page-down keys to some functions I’ve written using global-set-key

(global-set-key [next] 'up-rate)
(global-set-key [previous] 'down-rate)

This seems to work fine for page-down, but not page-up (previous) – the key remains bound to “buffer page up”. Am I missing something obvious here? I have a hard time believing that this is specific to page up, but I’m not sure where to look

Answer 1

C-h c is your friend — it will tell you that the name of the page up key is prior, not previous.
