I've recently started using emacs and wanted to customize the editor. So, I've tried to rebind certains keys, but It's doesn't to work no matter what I do.

(global-unset-key (kbd "C-c") )
(global-set-key (kbd "C-c") 'forward-char)

In c++-mode, It keeps adding comments. Why is that? And how can I rebind the key effectively?

    Welcome to emacs.stackexchange.com. Major-mode keymaps trump / supersede global keymaps. Type `C-h k` and then the keyboard shortcut to see what function is bound. Here is a write-up by Zah Lee: http://ergoemacs.org/emacs/emacs_set_keys_for_major_mode.html There are likely existing answers on emacs.stackexchange.com that may address these issues .... E.g., `(define-key c++-mode-map [C-down-mouse-1] 'rtags-find-symbol-at-point)` You may wish to Google: **emacs "define-key" "c++-mode-map" "emacs.stackexchange.com"** – lawlist Jan 19 '20 at 22:23

  • @lawlist you should post that as an answer – Jordon Biondo Jan 21 '20 at 18:54
