I am Emacs (v24.5) newbie and I use it with ergoemacs-mode (v5.14.7.3.1) key-bindings.

I often need to edit data in YAML format manually and I do it in yaml-mode (v20160101.921) because of its highlighting and proper indenting.

However, when I try to set-mark in yaml-mode with ergoemacs-mode keys M-SPC it does nothing and only says:

edmacro-parse-keys: M- must prefix a single character, not SPc

Could you, please, suggest how can I make M-SPC behave in yaml-mode as it does everywhere else in Emacs (i.e., org-mode, ess).

Edit: Solved in newer version of ergoemacs-mode

  • It's possible that you (or `ergoemacs-mode`) have bound `M-SPC` to `set-mark`, but normally this is bound to `C-SPC`. In any case, what is `M-SPC` actually bound to (check with `C-h k M-SPC`)? – ChrisGPT was on strike Feb 07 '16 at 23:05
  • Chris, thank you for your question. I did not modify any keys myself yet so by default `ergoemacs-mode` bounds `M-SPC` (in my case it is actually `⌘SPC`) to `set-mark-command` (I checked that with `C-h k M-SPC`). – Stas Feb 08 '16 at 09:17
  • probably a bug. If you file it on github, am pretty sure matt'd fix it right away. – Xah Lee Feb 08 '16 at 19:46
  • Thanks to Matt! The issue was fixed in a newer version of ergo-emacs. – Stas Jul 20 '16 at 17:02
